Montpellier vs Marseille Preview

Montpellier

Montpellier’s poor start of the campaign continued against Reims, losing 4-2 in a six-goal affair. This was their fifth loss in seven matches and Montpellier sit 17th in the table with only four points.

Perhaps a few anticipated such a dismal start of the season from La Paillade. They have consistently been a tough side for their opponents, but now they frequently concede goals and the chaos in the defence reflects the goal difference (8-21).

If we can mention a single player from the squad it is Nigerian Akor Adams, who already managed to score three goals. Arnaud Nordin registered a brace in the last round, but it was not enough to seal the draw for the guests. 

Marseille

Under Roberto De Zerbi, Marseille have become an exciting team to watch. With 14 points in seven games, they are third in Ligue 1, only five points behind the leaders Monaco. However, the gap could have been shorter had they won against Angers in the last round (1-1).

Marseille have proven to be a resilient side this season. The match against Lyon was proof as despite being with 10 men for the whole match, they still achieved a victory in the final minutes of the game.

Mason Greenwood has seen a resurgence after moving to Marseille. The 23-year-old forward is the club’s top goalscorer with five goals and will try to extend his tally in the upcoming encounter.

Montpellier vs Marseille Prediction

• Pick: Marseille to Win
• Odds: 1.72 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Montpellier 1-2 Marseille

Losing points against Angers at home was clearly not in the plans of Roberto De Zerbi. Both sides saw their players sent off, but it was Marseille pushing for a win as they had better chances in the second half.

We think that the situation will be different against inferior Montpellier. If we take a look at H2H stats between these clubs, Marseille have not lost in the previous 11 matches, winning six of them. 

The hosts, on the other hand, have issues in defence and allow many errors near their goal. We expect the visitors to gain the upper hand, and our betting tip for this game is Marseille to win. 

Montpellier vs Marseille Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both Teams to Score
• Odds: 1.50 (22Bet)

None of the clubs can boast of having a reliable defence and they concede in almost every match. Montpellier last kept a clean sheet on April 7, 2024, and since then saw at least a goal scored in their net.

As for Marseille, they have conceded in all but one match this season against Nice. They regularly create dangerous opportunities in the attack but leave free spaces in the back.

As for H2H results, in the past 10 meetings between these two nine ended with both teams scoring. Given the current forms of Marseille and Montpellier a high-scoring clash is anticipated and we suggest betting on both teams to score.
