Montpellier to win
The last teams both sides met in 2012. Montpellier were victorious 2-1 at Stade de l’Abbé Deschamps.
Meanwhile, Montpellier ended their 10-match winless streak at Mosson two weeks ago. We see them continuing that trend in this game too.
In addition, Le Pallaide are unbeaten in their last seven home matches against Auxerre.
Total goals over 2.5
Looking at their stats, it is clear to see that this match might be a high-scoring one. The hosts have scored 5 goals in the last two games, while Auxerre’s previous two matches have seen 9 goals in total.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Montpellier vs Auxerre
Montpellier have made an epic Ligue 1 start, with 12 goals scored in the first two opening matches (W1, L1). Despite losing to reigning champions PSG (2:5) last week, Olivier Dall’Oglio’s team showed some fighting spirit and character.
La Paillade will face a newly-promoted Auxerre this Sunday. It is worth saying that Montpellier had just one win across their previous matches with promoted teams (D2, L3).

On the other hand, Auxerre were close to securing their first win in the Ligue 1 after ten years of absence, but Angers’ Amine Salama scored an equalizer in 77 minutes to salvage a 2-2 draw against the AJAs.
The good news for Auxerre are, that they have lost just once in their previous 12 competitive games on the road (W7, D4).
However, their Ligue 1 away matches are not encouraging, as they have just one victory from their last 20, which contributed to their previous French top division relegation in 2011/12. The most exciting fact is that the poor streak of away form began with a 1:3 loss against their upcoming opponent Montpellier in 2011.
