Marseille vs Montpellier Predictions

• Both teams have scored in six of the last seven meetings.
• Marseille are unbeaten across their last eight meetings with the visitors.
• Montpellier have only beaten one side currently sitting in the top-half this season.

Hosts playing catch-up!

Second place Marseille can not afford to drop any points if they want to keep their ambition of chasing down PSG alive. They have failed to win their last four home league games which is hugely disappointing but they hold an edge over the visitors, emerging as victors in each of the last three meetings at this venue. However, the hosts, despite sitting in second, have kept just two league clean sheets at home this season and given their run of form, it would be surprising if they didn’t concede again here.

Montpellier have been regulars when it comes to making sure they contribute to the scoring having found the back of the net in 10 of their 13 Ligue 1 away games. But it’s not been a great help as they still sit 12th in the table and are 13 points adrift of a place in the top six. They have won three of their last five away games but those were seen against three of the bottom four and this will represent a much sterner test.

Marseille to edge a victory

The visitors should be confident of at least scoring here, especially given Marseille do gift chances. But Marseille are still one of the better sides in this league and they should have more than enough to claim all three points in the end.
