Montpellier Looking to Build on the 3-0 Win At Home to Metz Last Time Out
Montpellier ended their winless run in Ligue 1 with a convincing 3-0 home win against Metz. They dominated against Metz, and showed the cutting edge that has been missing in recent matches.
The win came after consecutive losses against Rennes (2-1) and Luon (1-2). This run of form means that Montpellier have 22 points from 22 outings in Ligue 1 this season.
