On November 4, 1818, the match will be played on Matchday 12 at the Stade de la Mosson Montpellier. Marseille. In this duel we are particularly surprised by the good ranking of Montpellier. While “La Paillade” only reached tenth place last season, they are currently surprisingly in third place. A little less surprising is the placement of “Les Olympiens”. Last year, they narrowly missed the Champions League. In this season, they work again to this goal and only need to make up three points to advance to third, which is sufficient for the qualification for the Champions League.
Montpellier:
The previous year’s decades offer a very good performance in 2018/2019. On the first match day, the team of Michel Der Zakarian lost 2-1 to Dijon. Subsequently, no game was lost in Ligue 1. Wins and draws alternated almost perfectly. Thus, they are currently with a goal difference of 17: 7 after eleven matchdays with 22 points completely rightly in third place. In total, six games could be won. They drew four times and as mentioned, only the first game of the season was lost. Most recently, they won twice in a row. On 27.10. they won 3-0 in Toulouse. A game day before had a home win. 2: 0 was defeated the table-topped Girondins Bordeaux. The goal difference of the last two games is thus 5: 0, the last four 9: 1.
Marseille:
Olympique Marseille are currently ranked fifth in Ligue 1 and do not want to let Montpellier escape or catch up with a win. They want to bet on their storm, which is the second best of the league behind Paris. On the other hand, they also have one of the worst defenses. These two facts make Montpellier – Marseille betting on either “Over 2.5 Goals” or “Both Teams Meet” very interesting. Interesting, because while Marseille both scored many goals and conceded many goals, at Montpellier exactly the opposite is the case. With just seven goals against them, they set the second-best defensive behind Paris Saint-Germain. All the more it will arrive on Florian Thauvin.
With his seven trills he is in the top scorers list in fifth place and thus at the top. Only Sala (Nantes), Neymar and Mbappé (both PSG) scored more goals.
Nevertheless, the current shape curve at “Les Olympiens” tends to point lower. Against two last admittedly heavy opponents they had to take defeats. Paris defeated Marseille 0-2 and in the Europa League Lazio Rome was the better team at 1: 3. Marseille seems to be always good for a goal. Whether it is worth betting on the number of goals at Montpellier – Marseille, is quite conceivable. In our final analysis, however, we have more focus on the outcome of the game, which is explained in the conclusion.
PREDICTION: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.72
