Montpellier vs Amiens: a clash of styles
Montpellier HSC and SC Amiens have picked up four points from their first three Ligue 2 2025/2026 matches and are sat 8th and 7th in the table respectively. The Montpellier HSC vs SC Amiens prediction is particularly tough as Montpellier are winless at home (D1, L0) and Amiens have two defeats in five (W1, D1, L3), so odds of 3.66 about the away side to get the win seem short - it’s 3.48 for a draw.
Zoumana Camara took over as head coach of Montpellier in April 2025 and has instilled some more combativité and confidence into the squad whilst developing a more fluid, process-based structure that can adapt between back three and back four systems. The ability to maintain possession, build-up from the back and get wide horizontally is what they’ve focused on, with Alexandre Mendy their creative engine and 1 assist in three Ligue 2 appearances so far.
In this Montpellier HSC vs SC Amiens preview, it's clear that Omar Daf took over Amiens in July 2023 and has made a name for himself in French soccer as a coach that sets up a compact 4-4-2 and gets his teams to play with solidity and defensive structure. Amiens aren’t a possession-dominant side, they focus on getting bodies behind the ball, being compact and strong in transition, before launching quick vertical passes and finishing off chances.
Side with the visitors on double chance
Montpellier will have some extra incentive as they return to Ligue 2 action after suffering relegation, but Amiens have been drilled to perfection and will want to put on a show against a former top-flight side. Amiens’ last three Ligue 2 results have been a 2-2 home draw with Stade de Reims, a 3-1 away win at Red Star 93 and a 1-0 defeat at home to Annecy FC.
With Amiens’ form on the road and the fact they’re up against a Montpellier side that have scored just 1 goal in their only home game so far, our Montpellier HSC vs SC Amiens prediction leans towards siding with the away side on the double chance option here, especially given current trends and momentum.

Amiens have a good chance of nicking a goal
Given Amiens have won their only Ligue 2 away match so far and bagged 3 goals in the process, they are fancied to outscore the hosts in this clash. The Montpellier HSC vs SC Amiens prediction is that a bet on ‘Amiens to score over 1.5 goals’ would’ve paid off in their most recent away Ligue 2 game, so that’s a selection for this one.
Becir Omeragic is the current Ligue 2 top scorer for Montpellier with 1 goal in 3 games, he’s the glue holding the attack together and is a key figure for them going forward. Teddy Averlant is Amiens’ goal threat and has bagged 2 in 3 Ligue 2 fixtures; he’s accounted for half of their goals in the last five games. He’s a reliable finisher and his form will be crucial for an Amiens side that relies on transition play and clinical finishing.
