Montpellier-Marseille is a Ligue 1 Week 17 match and is played on Monday at 19:00: statistics, likely formations, predictions
There are crucial points at stake for both teams. Both for Montpellier, who are looking for salvation, and for Marseille, who have the chance not only to extend their lead over Monaco but also to move closer to the top of the table. If we want to read the situation that way
Because we could also give another reading: Tudor’s guests need the three points in order to stay close to Lens, who beat Psg at home yesterday. Of course, if we look at the classification, there should be no match: but Montpellier, in the last round of 2022, beat Lorient away, showing that they have made the most of the World Cup break. On the other hand, the Marseille side had no real difficulty in destroying the unfortunate Toulouse, who were sent home with a tense 6-1 victory with as many different scorers.
Now, on the pitch, there are obviously two teams playing for different goals and with two different roses. And in general, Marseille also showed in Europe that they have players capable of making a difference. The feeling is that Tudor’s troop can get off to a great start this 2023 with an away win that could turn the season around. In a positive way, of course, as it would keep the visitors in the running for what is the main goal: a qualification to the next Champions League.
