Personal analysis: Montpellier traded the two core shooters Nordin and Adams in the winter window. Combined with the team's current bottom ranking in the league, the club's behavior shows that it is ready for relegation this season. The team's current center forward Drolt is a newly recruited player. He is a traditional center forward player. Only with the cooperation of his teammates can he get a chance to score in the penalty area. The two left and right wingers Savanier and Koulibaly are both good at breakthroughs and passing and shooting abilities, but it is difficult for these three players in the team to play offensive effects in the game. They almost all attack with the ball, so the current offense of the entire team is relatively weak. The defense line relies on dense positions in positional warfare. Once the opponent passes and cooperates, it is easy to tear open Montpellier's defense line. This has a lot to do with the personnel and regional defense arranged by the head coach, which shows that the head coach Gasset and his team have problems in tactical arrangements. Saint-Etienne slightly strengthened the offensive ability of the right side in the winter window. Most of the team's current offense relies on three people on the right side, including the newly recruited wing forward Cardona, the wing back Maicon and the midfielder Mufik. These three have certain ability to cross from the side. Among them, Mufik has more advantages in personal confrontation and speed. The goal is basically handed over to the center forward Stasin and the left winger Davitashvili to take the finishing task. The team's defense is still strong. The players in the midfield and frontcourt are more active in retreating to assist defense. In addition, they are also qualified in physical confrontation and blocking. Although the overall defense is a little chaotic, the protection in front of the goal is still good.

The difference between Montpellier and Saint-Etienne in terms of lineup strength is not that big, it is more about the morale of the players and the coaching team. Montpellier is currently playing relatively chaotically on both offense and defense, while Saint-Etienne's points difference with the lower-ranked teams in Ligue 1 is in the single digits. The team has a strong desire to stay in the league in recent games. In this game, Montpellier's home game handicap of 0.25 goals is normal, and the organization basically gives Montpellier a strong home support. Lao Li believes that Saint-Etienne has a higher chance of getting points away from home in this game, and recommends Saint-Etienne +0.25 win option, and the score is more likely to be 1-1, 1-2, and the two options are more likely to be away win options.
