Montpellier - Pau

Montpellier look to steady their campaign after a difficult outing last week as they return to Stade de la Mosson on 11 September 2026 for matchday 6 of the Ligue 2 season. The hosts suffered a 3-1 defeat against Saint-Etienne, halting a productive spell that had seen them secure consecutive victories against Dunkerque and Nancy. Finding a way to break down opposition defences remains a priority, especially after their goalless stalemate with Boulogne late last month.

Their visitors, Pau, arrive seeking consistency following a run of results that has seen them trade narrow losses with hard-fought draws. A 1-1 result against Sochaux followed a high-scoring 2-2 draw with Rodez, highlighting a side that remains difficult to beat but occasionally vulnerable. In their most recent league meetings, Pau proved a stubborn opponent, including a 1-0 victory over Montpellier in December 2025 and a goalless draw in March 2026.
