Goal Statistics

AJ Auxerre's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday afternoon, not least because Montpellier have conceded in each of their last 31 Ligue 1 outings. A PG of 1.7 for Christophe Pelissier's side suggests that run should continue.

Scoring more than 1 goal looks like a tall order for Montpellier, with Rolf Landerl's men failing to score in 3 consecutive Ligue 1 games.
