Prediction Angers SCO vs Montpellier season – Betting Tips for Ligue 1 on 13/04/2025

When Angers SCO takes to the pitch at Stade Raymond Kopa to face Montpellier on April 13, 2025, both teams will be looking for a much-needed boost in their respective campaigns. As the fight intensifies in the Ligue 1 landscape during the regular season, every point matters, particularly for these two clubs at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Current Standings and Form

Angers SCO comes into this contest sitting in 14th place, with a record of 7 wins, 6 draws, and 15 losses. They achieved a mere 27 points thus far, having scored 26 goals while conceding 46. A glance at their last five outings reveals a challenging stretch, with recent defeats against PSG and Rennes, marking a low in morale as they’ve struggled to find consistency.

Conversely, Montpellier lingers perilously in 18th, fighting relegation with only 15 points accrued from just 4 wins, 3 draws, and 21 losses. Their offensive struggles are glaring as they have scored only 21 goals while conceding a staggering 64. Montpellier has also struggled in previous matches, losing against Le Havre and Auxerre in their last outings. The away side is undoubtedly desperate for points, but results haven’t been in their favor.

Head-to-Head and Historical Context

The previous encounter earlier this year in January saw Montpellier triumph 3-1 over Angers, providing them with a psychological edge. Historical matches between the two have shown that Montpellier has often had the upper hand. However, the home advantage could play a pivotal role for Angers SCO in this crucial clash, as they strive to turn their fortunes around and build a positive run leading into the final stretch of the season.

Betting Odds and Predictions

According to the latest odds, Angers is favored to win with a probability of 52.38% (1.90), compared to Montpellier’s 25% (4.00). A draw holds a probability of 28.57%, priced at 3.50. These odds suggest that the bookmakers see Angers as the more likely side to claim victory.

Given the current form of both teams, a compelling betting suggestion would be to back Angers SCO to win this match. Moreover, considering both teams' defensive vulnerabilities and the pressure to score, a bet on both teams to score (BTTS) may also hold value, given that Angers has seen 54.55% of their home matches yield both teams scoring, while Montpellier has strikingly high percentages when playing away.

With the stakes high for both sides as they aim for survival or mid-table respectability, expect a fiercely contested encounter with Angers SCO ultimately emerging victorious in what could be a pivotal match in their season.
