Marseille – Montpellier, Ligue 1 Prediction

Marseille easily managed to win against Toulouse with 5-2 in the last away game from the past round, but so what? OM season is far from successful. The most successful team in France will finish the 6th place, or 5th if they win today vs. Montpellier. Naturally, this could not be left without consequences and the big change was expected – Rudy Garcia leaves Marseille after this game. He will not lead the team after he failed to achieve anything this season.

Montpellier will hope to take a draw to stop Marseille’s attempts to overtake them in the standings. Currently, the difference between the two teams is 1 point in favor of Montpellier, who have recently been involved in quite a lot of goal scoring games. The interesting thing with this team is that it has had a very defensive approach to its games in recent years, and now with Del Zakarian things have changed.

Marseille can’t help, but try to win. They have a strong attack and Montpellier will not be able to withstand a clean sheet, because they won’t close. On the contrary – we expect a fairly open game with goals. We saw in the last round that Marseille played completely free and here tactical play simply would not be on the map. Prediction – Over 2.5 goals at 1.52.

5 of the last 6 games of Marseille ended with over 2.5 goals
