Montpellier vs Reims betting tips 14 September 2013 French Ligue 1: "Montpellier didn’t made the best possible start in the season as they have only one victory, two draws and a defeat after four rounds, but now have a chance to make the things much better as they welcome Reims this Saturday night."

They are coming from a 2:2 draw away to Nice two weeks before, in a game they were twice back in the scoreline, but still managed to pull out a draw out of not that interesting game. Hosts took the lead in 18th minute, but Camara equalized in 34th minute, while the home side got into the lead once again, in the worst possible moment for players from Montpellier as they scored near the half-time whistle for 2:1 lead. Guests replied with a goal from Tiene in 53rd minute, but weren’t able to make something concrete in front of opponents goal from then on. Things to be worse they stood with a man less near the full time whistle as midfielder Bakar got red carded. As said, their only target is getting a victory now and starting a progress of climbing up to the European tickets, as they are currently only at middle of the table.Reims missed the chance to approach top positions at the table as they only drew at home against newly promoted Nantes in a goalless match two weeks ago. However, the game itself was a pretty boring one as neither of the teams actually stepped up and attacked during the game, while the visitors had the home side had a bit more of the ball possession, but were equally poor in creativity just as their opponents.

In the end, draw seems like a fair outcome as neither of the teams actually bothered to attack properly during the ninety minutes. In any way, start of the season can be described as a positive one, as they count two victories, draw and a defeat, with the highlight of the August month being a victory away to Lyon 0:1 three weeks ago. Apart from that, they have also won at home against Lille 2:1, while Rennes defeated them with the same score in season opener. Despite the good start, they remain with both feet to the ground, as everyone understand their solely goal should be achieving the safe position in the end of the season. However, they will not be going to only defend in this one, although the draw would surely be good enough result for them.

Montpellier are undefeated in 16 of their last 17 home matches in Ligue 1.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Montpellier’s last 3 games in Ligue 1.
Montpellier will surely be eager to start the game very offensive, trying to seal the three points sooner rather than later. Home side is more quality looking at the roster and should take the victory easier than expected against Reims that shouldn’t be able to make a second consecutive surprise on the road.

Bet: Montpellier Wins
