Home team gets the points, the away team claims the win or an exciting draw? Anything can happen when the mid-table teams Montpellier and Strasbourg clash at Stade de la Mosson.
- Montpellier have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Montpellier have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Strasbourg have scored away.
