It’s difficult to see where a winner may come from here based on recent form. Les Lanciers have struggled at home recently and have picked up two points from their last six Ligue 1 home matches here at the Gabriel Montpied Stadium. However, Montpellier are bottom of the form table at the moment with two points and minus eight-goal difference. Therefore, 101 Great Goals’ prediction for this match is Clermont Foot 1-1 Montpellier HSC and is available at odds of 7/1.
Alternatively, you can bet on any Clermont win at 1.85/1 against Les Pailladins at home on Sunday.
Or, back any away win for Montpellier at 3.8/1 here at the Gabriel Montpied Stadium.
You can find odds of 3.75/1 for any draw between Clermont and Montpellier on Sunday.

Match Preview
The Lancers welcome Montpellier HSC to the Gabriel Montpied Stadium on Sunday for this Ligue 1 match. Clermont are dangling precariously above the drop zone and could end up in the bottom three with a defeat here if results elsewhere also go against them. However, Montpellier look set to finish the season comfortably in midtable regardless of the outcome here.
Clermont Foot come into the match on a run of six home league games without a win. They have picked up five points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
Les Lanciers lost their last league match away to Stade Brestois. Expected goals of 1.3 to 1.0 in favour of Brest indicates they were a little unfortunate to get nothing from the match. Les Lanciers will be frustrated at going 0-2 down in a game in which they had a man advantage for over seventy minutes. The final score of the match was 2-0.
Mohamed Bayo missed Clermont Foot’s only big chance of the game but remains their top scorer with twelve goals in Ligue 1 this season and is the 5/1 favourite to score the first goal of the match against Montpellier HSC on Sunday.
Their opponent on Sunday, Montpellier HSC, come into the match on a run of six league games without a win. They have picked up two points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
The Paladins shared the points in their last league match at home to FC Metz, in a four-goal thriller. Expected goals of 2.0 to 1.3 in favour of Montpellier indicates they probably deserved more than a point from the match. However, to come back from 0-2 down with only 10 minutes remaining will certainly be viewed as a point won rather than two dropped. The final score of the match was 2-2.
Sepe Elye Wahi scored the injury-time equaliser and moves into double figures for Montpellier HSC with ten goals in Ligue 1 this season. He is their top scorer and is the 8/1 favourite to score the final goal of the game again on Sunday.

Clermont Foot team news
The Lancers are fortunate to come into Sunday’s match without any injuries or suspensions to worry about.
Clermont Foot may look to make a few unforced changes to the side who lost against Stade Brestois in their last league match. After being brought off at halftime in a tactical switch, it is possible Yohann Magnin will be the most likely candidate to be left out of the starting lineup here.
Montpellier HSC team news
Injuries will rule out Pedro Mendes (muscular problems) for the trip to the Gabriel Montpied Stadium.
They may look to shuffle their deck voluntarily having drawn against FC Metz in their last league match. Sacha Delaye and Mihailo Ristic will be pushing for a starting place having changed the game from the bench with an assist apiece.
