Prediction commentary
Based on data as of 7 Sep, 16:03Montpellier can slow the tempo to blunt Barcelona’s attack. Barcelona average 37.2 goals a game; Montpellier concede 26.6.
Barcelona have won four of their last five matches, with only a 34:37 Champions League defeat to Fuchse Berlin on 14 June breaking their run. They have scored 186 goals in that span, averaging 37.2 per game, and have kept clean sheets in none of those five fixtures. Their most recent outings were 39:34 and 39:37 victories over Sporting and Porto in the Supercopa Iberica on consecutive days in September.
Montpellier have won three of five. They have conceded 133 goals in the same period, averaging 26.6 per match, and their heaviest defeat was the 20:21 loss to PSG. Their most recent result was a 41:22 home victory over Chartres in the Starligue on 4 September.
The two sides have met twice in the Champions League, each winning once. Montpellier beat Barcelona 25:30 away on 13 September 2023, then Barcelona responded with a 34:37 home victory on 7 March 2024.
Montpellier win only if they contain Barcelona’s attack.
