Montpellier host Saint-Etienne at Stade de la Mosson, Montpellier on Friday, Apr 30 at 8:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 2 points in the Ligue 2, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Montpellier come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 0L). Saint-Etienne, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 0L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Montpellier face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Saint-Etienne have won 7 of 10 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Montpellier won 0–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Montpellier a slight edge, but Saint-Etienne are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
