Monaco has a relatively sublime performance in Ligue 1 when they have won 10 out of 12 maximum points in the last 4 rounds. This impressive performance has helped them climb from 8th to 4th place - the position with tickets to the European Cup next season - on the standings.

In addition, the Croatian coach - Niko Kovac also owns a highly appreciated away form. Specifically, in the last 2 trips away from home in the Ligue 1, they have managed to secure a positive results. Therefore, if they continue with this current performance, it will only be a matter of time before they found themselves in top 5 of the league standings.

On the other hand, the host, Montpellier are going through a very difficult time with them winning just come one game in the last 7 rounds of Ligue 1. In addition, their home performance is also not so encouraging, with the team receiving a lot of criticism from the media. In their last 10 matches played at Stade de la Mosson since the start of the season in mid-September, coach Michel Der Zakarian have lost 5 and conceded a total of 20 goals - the number is high. most from Ligue 1 at the moment.

Therefore, with this, I think I'm gonn' have to bank on the away team winning this round.

Pick: Monaco to win
