Montpellier sit 3rd in the Ligue 2 on 11 points from 6 matches, having scored 5 and conceded 4. The model rates their attack at 0.60× the league average and their defence at 1.36× goals conceded, where 1 is average and a lower defensive figure is better — below average at both ends by these numbers. Across their last 5 league matches they have 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat, most recently beating PAU 1-0 at home. That is 1.83 points a match, scoring 0.83 and conceding 0.67 per game across 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That leaves them 4 points behind Saint Etienne at the top, in a table of 18. Among the 18 rated sides in the division that is the 13th-best attack and the 3rd-best defence. They scored in 2 of those 5 and kept 2 clean sheets. Next they travel to Reims in the Ligue 2 on 18 September 2026, a match the model gives them 30%.
