Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for PAU is 6.87, compared to 6.90 for Montpellier. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. PAU's highest-rated starter is Daylam Meddah (7.07), while Montpellier's best-rated player is Julien Laporte (7.28).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of PAU have contributed 23 goals and 17 assists this season, led by Giovani Versini (6G). Montpellier's starters account for 22 goals and 14 assists, spearheaded by Alexandre Mendy (11G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

PAU deploy 5 defenders rated 6.85 on average, against Montpellier's 4-man backline averaging 6.96. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

PAU field 3 midfielders averaging 6.84, versus Montpellier's 5 rated 6.81. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

PAU start 2 forward(s) averaging 6.89, compared to 1 for Montpellier averaging 6.77. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 84% for PAU and 82% for Montpellier. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

PAU's starters have collected 44 yellow cards this season, compared to 31 for Montpellier. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of PAU's starting XI is 24.6 (youngest: Omar Sissoko (19), oldest: Steeve Beusnard (33)), while Montpellier average 25.2 (youngest: Theo Chennahi (20), oldest: Julien Laporte (32)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

PAU's starters average 24 league appearances each, versus 26 for Montpellier. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
