Montpellier welcome Saint-Etienne at Stade de la Mosson, Montpellier on Friday, Apr 30 at 8:00 PM in a Ligue 2 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Montpellier come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Saint-Etienne, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L 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 8 of 10 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Montpellier won 1–3.

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.
