Montpellier vs Saint-Etienne Prediction and Betting Tips | March 16th 2025

Montpellier play host to Saint-Etienne in a French Ligue 1 bottom-of-the-table clash at the Stade de la Mosson on Sunday. Eirik Horneland’s men have failed to win their 13 away games in the league this season and will be desperate to end this dire run.

Montpellier were left empty-handed once again as they suffered a 1-0 defeat against LOSC Lille at the Stade de la Mosson last Saturday. Gasset’s side have now lost six games on the bounce, conceding 15 goals and scoring just once since January’s 1-0 victory over Toulouse.

With 15 points from 25 Ligue 1 matches, Montpellier are currently rooted to the bottom of the league standings, five points and one place behind this weekend’s visitors.

Saint-Etienne, on the other hand, failed to find their feet last time out as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Le Havre when the two sides squared off at the Stade Oceane.

Horneland’s men have failed to taste victory in nine consecutive games, losing five and claiming four draws since cruising to 3-1 victory over Stade Reims on January 4.

Saint-Etienne’s underwhelming campaign has been owing to their struggles at the back as they have conceded 57 goals already — only Montpellier (59) have shipped more goals in the league this season.
