Football Predictions
Club football returns this Friday with Marseille hosting Montpellier at Orange Vélodrome as France Ligue 1 campaign enters matchday 29.
Just before the international break, Merseile were away to Reims where they registered a 2-1 victory to keep chasing PSG for the title this season.
Meanwhile, Montpellier also picked a similar win against Clermont, a match they were forced to end with ten men following Jordan Felli’s red card. Marseille are second on the log with 59 points, seven behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
Montpellier are positioned 11th in the league standings, with 36 points, 14 off the top four ahead of the away encounter.
H2H / Stats
Montpellier have failed to beat Marseille in the last six matches in all competitions, losing five while forcing a single draw in the process.
At least three goals have been produced in four of the last six meetings between the two sides, with the clean sheet being kept only twice.
Montpellier have won 5 of their last 6 Ligue 1 matches.
Team news
Marseille will be without Leonardo Balerdi who continues to serve his three-match ban.
For Montpellier, Jordan will not be available for selection since he was sent off just before the international break.
Verdict
Marseille are aware a win will reduce the gap between them and leaders PSG while also giving them the chance to secure a Champions League spot next season. However, at home they’ve had a poor record in the domestic league and are winless in their last three matches.
In those three home matches, at least three goals have been produced.
