Rodez vs Montpellier

Published reasoning

Estimated probability: 72%. The line landed in 4/5 Rodez and 3/4 Montpellier completed matches in the last 45 days; recent home/away samples in the same 45-day window were 2/3 and 2/2. Rodez conceded four to Nancy and Metz and two to St Etienne. Montpellier drew 1-1 at Reims and lost 1-3 at St Etienne; both recent away games cleared this lower total. Model total expected goals 2.83 is secondary support. Main risk: Montpellier have only eight league goals scored and five conceded through eight matches, and beat Pau FC only 1-0. Their strong defensive record and the February H2H 1-0 can produce another narrow result; the August 4-2 H2H receives less weight than league form.
