Montpellier @ 2.35 Betway,

Possible arranged away win. Bet365 & Stan James still offer as well, but many taken it off their books

[kompressaur]

Howdo Meatman. Bloody hell is this still going on? Well obviously it is. What placings are they playing for folks?

Cheers for that Meatman. Won't be betting on it myself, avoid all those kind of rumours these days - the ones I end up betting on turn out to be a load of bollocks, and the ones I think are a load of bollocks go the way the rumours predicted. On the basis of which, you're probably pretty safe with your bet

Obviously something going on anyway, because odds of 2.37 on an away team that's 2-6-10 away from home for the season against a team that's 9-6-3 at home wouldn't look particularly appealing otherwise.

Are Ajaccio and Montpellier friendly (with each other I mean)?

Shortlist for me this week at the moment is Niort, Istres, Libourne and Strasbourg.

Montpellier need points, Ajaccio is on middle of the table,without motivation, so Montpellier have chance to stay in league with wining in this match. Some bookies already have odds 1.95 and that is pretty good fall from 2.35.
I'll wait for some news about teams but probably I go on Montpellier.
Two games to the end of championship and lot's of team there who are already safe and don't have any particular motivation for playing and maybe they will play with young players so does anybody knows some site where we can look for teams news?
Thanks

The Ajaccio, in free wheel, receive Montpellier Friday, which plays on the other hand its future in L.2, on the last two matches. The decoration thus planted is enough to determine the stake, no one for the ACA. On the basis of there, Rudi Krol will build a team, without any pressure of result, on the other hand its counterpart montpelliérain, in fact... Rolland Courbis will make an effort as for him, to align its best players, for going to seek the three points. Because it will be well the objective of the partners of Bruno Carotti before buckling the loop in residence in Grenoble. The task will be difficult, the more so as Montpellier does not have its destiny in hand and will have to compose with Niort, Creteil and Brest which will also play their survival during two last days.

Ajaccio knew one relatively quiet season. Never the ACA was able to mix with the race with the rise and did not have the unpleasant feeling to feel in danger. Always placed between the 9th position and the 14e, the Corsicans will try to finish their season in residence on a good note.
Only 8 strikers among Corsicans.
The list of the Corsican strikers is relatively Courte. Only 8 names appear in it. Mandrichi (14 goals) and Scarpelli (12 goals) marked 26 of the 44 insular goals. Supplement the list: Khiter (7), Rodrigo (5), Lacombe (2), Chafni (2), Antonio Carlos (1) and.... Dzodic (1)
Ajaccio in residence .
With 33 points empochés on these grounds, the ACA is the 8th most effective team. With 3 defeats with the meter, for 9 victories and 6 null, the defense did not box which 14 goals in residence (against outside 31!). 3 teams managed to be binding to François Coty: Chateauroux, Bastia and Tours.
Meeting again with Nenad Dzodic.
In addition to Rolland COURBIS which will find its old club, this match will be also the theatre of the meeting again between Nenad Dzodic and Montpellier Herault. The central defender, who disputed 30 matches with the ACA carried the Pailladin shirt during 7 seasons.
Old head-2-head Ajaccio - MHSC in League 2

Thanks for informations $olvent but now I'm little confused and I still think Montpellier could win this match but now I think to skip this match or to fall down my stake.
We will see later.
Thanks anyway
What is it with other matches tommorow?
Tours CN - Brest is very interesting for me. I think Brest could win this match. Tours is already in 3 division and they are in the bad form. They won only 2 points in last 5 matches And Brest need points from this match. They lost last 2 away but now they must win. What you think about this match?

yeh they are fairly amicable with each other I think.

But the key factor to consider here is the Rolland Courbis influence. Recently brought into Montpellier with just 4 games left to save them. He was an ex player for Ajaccio, very popular amongst the fans. He then became coach for them in 2001, achieving close to legendary status as he led them to promotion to ligue 1. A couple of seasons of stability ensured before he left. He did return in 2005, but that wasnt such a successful stint as he ultimately led them to relegation last year. But hes still really popular and massively respected at Ajaccio, still has a lot of friends here. The fact is that Ajaccio have no need for points here, even talk about them playing a 2nd string side. Their injury situation ain't too good either. The talk is that this is an arranged away win, but even it if wasnt then I'd still be very confident in MHSC winning

18.05.07 | CHAMPIONSHIP LEAGUES 2, FC TOURS - BREST
Match Friday 18.05.07 with 20h00
To keep under control his destiny at two days of the end of the championship, the fight for the maintenance remains always also keen. Last weekend, Niort, Brest, Montpellier and Istres indeed gained and were thus neutralized with the classification whereas Creteil, beaten in Niort, carried out the bad deal of the day. For this penultimate evening of this championship 2006-07, the Brest-native Stage moves at the red lantern, the F C Tours. Tours have been condemned for several days to play the next season in National. Promoted at the beginning of season, they always were in difficulty in this championship where they will as well as possible have been classified 14e after the 4e day. As their dynamics shows it, they knew two very difficult periods this season with 7 consecutive defeats between 9th and the 15e day and only one point marked between the 26e and the 32e day. Over the 36 disputed days, the F C Tours was relégable 29 times; it occupies one of the three last places since the 10th day and did not leave the last place any more since the 13e day. These statistics show that this return Leagues 2 of them will have been very difficult for a team of Turns which gained only 5 matches and conceded 23 defeats. However, on these 23 defeats, 15 were it by only one goal of variation... Tours are certainly taken down with the classification but they were never outclassed. The trainer emblematic of the F C Tours, Albert Falette (posts some since 1995) yielded his place at the beginning of April in Philippe Bizeul. He made this decision, not to create a psychological shock, but to prepare the next season right now because he excluded to continue in the event of redescente in National. Relegated for a long time, Tourangeaux will finish the season by 2 matches in residence (Brest then Chateauroux) and will try to finish the best possible one in front of their public in order not to distort the end of championship.


Last Friday, the Residents of Brest suffered to overcome a gueugnonnaise team however reduced to 10 after 5 minutes of play. Against Chateauroux or Istres, they had played well but had not been able to find the opening and had had to concede null matches 0-0. Against Gueugnon, they did not know to develop the same quality of play but succeeded in taking 3 points and, in this end of season, in fact the points count. This victory against "the Blacksmiths" was regarded as necessary before the match. The results of the direct competitors for the maintenance showed that any other result would have placed the Brest-native Stage in a situation even more delicate.Essence is to preserve its destiny in hand before the last day and in the event of victory with Tours and of defeat from Montpellier in Ajaccio, the maintenance could already be even acquired as of Friday evening. For that, the Residents of Brest will have to take as a starting point the the match carried out with Creteil at the beginning of March to hope for the same epilogue.

[Monty H.]

Sedan v Valenciennes
Season well and over for Sedan yet no reason to play some good footy last time in front of the home crowd and get some respect berfore returning to ligue 2..
Over 2, 2.5 @ 1.825

PSG v Troyes
Pariss last home game, having a great run latly and won the last home matches except v Lyon and after a terrible season for them really they can restore some pride infront of fans at a great price too..
4 pts PSG @ 1.8
2 pts PSG to win by 2 or more goals @ 3.6
6 pts Over 2, 2.5 @ 1.825

[Monty H.]

Maybe i did over do it a bit and a smaller punt is more apropriate..

[rcgills]

It's a tough one to call, Monty, as both teams need the points badly - Creteil to avoid relegation, and Amiens to get into the top 3. Creteil don't have a bad home record, mind you, and they've beaten Caen and drawn with Metz this season, so they're well capable of getting results here against the top sides. Not one I'll be betting on, but good luck

[junior98]

in PSG case i,m agree with you monthy , easy game for PSG GL Mon n u will
