This form has propelled Montpellier to 5th on the Ligue 1 table, level on 31 points with Rennes on 4th, and 2 points behind 3rd-palced Marseille.
Olivier Dall’Oglio will prepare his side’s mentality to be ready for the French Cup game against a strong Strasbourg side.
Strasbourg’s form in Ligue 1 has been stop-start. But they have performed fairly well in the cup, and will be looking to progressing to the round of 16 of the French Cup at the expense of Montpellier.
Strasbourg have the team and discipline to cause Montpellier difficulties during the match. Given it is a cup game the Strasbourg squad will approach the game without any heed to form in Ligue 1.
In Ligue 1, Montpellier have hauled 12 points from the available 18. This run of fixtures is level with the 12 points collected by Lille and Paris St Germain in the last 6 rounds of fixtures.
After back-to-back losses to Rennes (2-0) and Lyon (1-0), Montpellier have responded by winning 4 straight matches in Ligue 1, scoring 12 goals and conceding 2 in the process.
Strasbourg have plundered 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat in their last 6 rounds of fixtures. In this run, they have collected 9 points and dropped 9 in the process.
