Montpellier vs Toulouse Prediction
This one is a difficult game to predict, as both teams have shown up-and-down form this season but are capable of both excellence and poor performances.
Toulouse are probably the slightly better side, but they will also be hurting coming off their loss to Liverpool in midweek.
Nevertheless, Toulouse created chances against the Premier League side. Against a team with a porous defence like Montpellier, they could score again. Considering the same, a tight game with an away win could ensue.
Prediction: Montpellier 1-2 Toulouse
