Montpellier will be looking to give it a good run when they embark on their Ligue 2 campaign after Ligue 1 relegation. They host Red Star to commence their season, and below we have a prediction for the match.
Montpellier finished bottom of Ligue 1 but should find their footing pretty easily in Ligue 2. La Paillade had a good run in preseason and come here off the back of four wins in five friendly matches.
The hosts should be able to address their attacking challenges seen at the close of last season. In preseason, they failed to score just once.
Red Star finished just above the relegation zone in Ligue 2 last season, and they will be setting higher targets this time. Starting them off is an opponent coming from a much superior league.
After completing their preseason activity unbeaten in the last three friendly matches. An eight-game winless run in Ligue 2 doesn’t place Red Star in a good place.
The visitors conceded in all those eight matches but only failed to score once in the last 10. Away from home in the league last season, Red Star managed just three wins in 17 matches. Such matches accounted for 15 of their 38 points in the campaign.
