Expert analysis

Montpellier and Pau Likely to Keep It Tight

Montpellier have kept clean sheets in most of their recent games while managing just a goal per match on average. Pau’s away scoring has been limited despite some results, and they have failed to score in several outings. The head to head record shows few high scoring encounters between the sides. Both teams show zero percent of games exceeding two and a half goals this season. Form for each side features draws and narrow results rather than open attacking play. These patterns point to a game where one side may fail to find the net.
