Toulouse vs Montpellier Prediction and Betting Tips | May 3rd 2024
Toulouse will host Montpellier at the Stadium de Toulouse on Friday in another round of the 2024 Ligue 1 campaign.
The home side are enjoying a good run of results at the moment and are now making a last-gasp push for continental football. They beat Lorient 2-1 in their last match, finding themselves a goal down at the break before Thijs Dallinga and Ibrahim Cissoko got on the scoresheet in the second half to help secure maximum points for Carles Martinez's team.
Toulouse sit mid-table in 10th place with 40 points picked up so far and will be looking to continue their good run of form this weekend.
Montpellier are also playing well at the moment and looking to end their season on a positive note. They played out a 1-1 draw against Nantes last time out with Akor Adams scoring the game-opener just two minutes after kickoff before their opponents leveled the scores five minutes later.
The visitors sit 12th in the Ligue 1 standings, three points behind their weekend opponents and will draw level with a win on Friday.
