Key Highlights

Marseille’s Winless Ligue 1 Form

Marseille’s form has been tepid in recent matches. They have collected three points in their last five outings, dropping 12 points in the process. In this run, they have drawn three times and lost twice.

They currently sit 9th on the Ligue 1 table with 30 points, nine points behind third-place Nice.

If they are to make it into Europe this season, Marseille must turn their form around soon, starting with the home clash against Montpellier on Saturday. 

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. 

Montpellier are just five points clear of the drop zone. They need to continue winning and regain some consistency to avoid dropping into the relegation zone.
