Montpellier 1–0 Pau
Montpellier host Pau at the Stade de la Mosson on Friday evening sitting second in the early Ligue 2 standings, but their home record carries a warning the numbers make hard to ignore. Pau arrive in poor form and leaking goals at an alarming rate, which makes this a fixture with more tactical texture than the table positions suggest.
