Montpellier to win the Ligue 2 shortened from 10/1 to a best price of 3/1 at William Hill, with all three bookmakers cutting their odds. See the move.
The odds on Montpellier to win the Ligue 2 have been slashed from 10/1 to 3/1 with William Hill, and after the weekend they have just had, nobody should be shocked.
Montpellier have shortened to a best price of 3/1 with William Hill, with three of three bookmakers cutting their odds.
Bet365 and Betway have matched that price, so every firm on the board is singing from the same hymn sheet.
St Etienne remain clear favourites at 4/7 with Betway, so this is a chase rather than a changing of the guard.
Montpellier have won their last three Ligue 2 matches, and none of them has been a low-scoring affair.
Montpellier did their business on the road on Saturday, cruising to a 3-0 win at Annecy. Teenage forward Laciné Megnan-Pavé got them going midway through the first half, and from there it was the Nicolas Pays show. He scored twice and set up another, his second a lovely curled finish just after the hour that put the game to bed. Annecy's afternoon got even messier when their head coach was sent off before the break. The attack is clearly the story here, with goals coming freely through the front line.
The real kicker came from Guingamp. League leaders St Etienne were taken apart there on the same day, with Stanislas Kielt, Teddy Averlant and Amadou Samoura all finding the net and no reply coming. A Montpellier win while the leaders fall over is exactly the kind of weekend that makes traders twitch, and it explains why every bookmaker moved together. Montpellier to win the Ligue 2 has been cut to 3/1 with William Hill, and in a race like this, momentum gets priced quickly. In PSL terms, it is the sort of weekend that has everyone rechecking the log.
Ligue 2 Win Market odds
Best odds on Montpellier to win the Ligue 2 are 3/1 with William Hill. The worst price is the same figure with Betway, and Bet365 match it too, so there is no edge to be found by shopping around. That is a serious statement about a side that was a double-figure outsider not long ago.

Who is favourite as Montpellier to win the Ligue 2 odds shorten?
St Etienne are still the clear favourites at a best price of 4/7 with Betway, which tells you the market has not lost faith in the leaders after one bad afternoon. Montpellier are second-shortest at 3/1 with William Hill, though, and they are the side with the wind behind them. What should worry St Etienne backers is how flat they looked at Guingamp: Jakob Breum hit the post in the first half, but a triple substitution at the break changed nothing. Behind the top two, the market thins out quickly.
St Etienne (4/7 with Betway) – Still top of the market and the league leaders, but Saturday showed they can be got at.
Montpellier (3/1 with William Hill) – The side on the charge, with Nicolas Pays the man in form in front of goal.
Reims (10/1 with William Hill) – A decent gap back to third, and they need a run of their own to join this conversation.
Red Star 93 (25/1 with Bet365) – Already beaten by Montpellier, they look a long way off the pace at these prices.

What do Montpellier need to do to win the Ligue 2?
For Zoumana Camara's side, the job is simple enough: keep that attack firing and keep the pressure on the leaders. Next up is Metz at the Stade de la Mosson on 6 November, a home fixture where the form book points their way, before a Coupe de France trip to Balagne FC. Keep winning in Ligue 2 and the questions shift onto St Etienne, who now have to show that Guingamp was a blip. Our view? St Etienne remain the side to catch, but Montpellier at 3/1 with William Hill is a far more honest reflection of where this title race sits than the old price ever was, and the direction of travel is all theirs. Plenty of football is still to be played, so treat them as a live contender rather than a done deal.
