Montpellier take on the visitors Rennes in the round 3 match of French Ligue 1. The match takes palce at Stade des la Mosson on Saturday, August 27th.
Montpellier had finished on comfortable 12th place in the French Ligue 1 last season with 49 points and 49-47 aggregate goal difference. We shouldn’t expect massive improvement of results this season as the first team didn’t get improved during transfer window. Montpellier took three points in two matches, beating Angers, 1-0 and losing to Saint-Etienne, 1-3. The team is on three-match winning streak in home matches with 7-1 aggregate score.

Rennes also have three points after two matches played. They lost to Nice on the road, 0-1 and have beaten Nancy 2-0. Rennes lost their last four away league matches counting last season. The most recent goal on the road was scored in the middle of March.
The level of the opponents is about the same. Considering poor results of offensive line of the visiting side in away match and quite low scoring showed by Montpellier, we can expect to see quite small scoring chances created and a low scoring result.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goal.
