Marseille-Montpellier is a match of the twenty-third day of Ligue 1 and is played Sunday at 8:45 pm: TV, likely lineups, predictions
A new era, yet another, on the Marseille bench. Having exonerated Gattuso, the team has been entrusted to Gasset, who put the first piece in place in last Thursday’s Europa League evening by winning against Shakhtar (3-1 in a comeback) and detaching the pass for the round of 16 of the event. A good start for the Frenchman, who is now called upon, before resuming the European journey, to drag the team back into Ligue 1: difficult to get back into the areas that count, but not impossible.
It would take a few wins in a row, the kind that leave their mark and put a little fear in others as well. And against Montpellier, a formation fighting for salvation, the task is within reach of Aubameyang and his teammates, who know that in the league they cannot make a mistake if they want to somehow make sense of the final part of the season. Marseille, against the Ukrainians, found victory after seven games: that’s why Gattuso was kicked out, despite the team objectively losing little, it could not win. Victory that it must be said even the guests, in the last round of Ligue 1, found after quite some time in the league. But it is merely a step in the midst of some decidedly below-par performances. And it cannot question the outcome of the postponement of the French top league. Marseille is favored and should be able to pick up an important win to try to boost themselves in the standings.
The prediction
On the field, the gap is clear: Marseille is a team that could easily be behind Psg in France, but so far has not found the right square. With the new change on the bench in those parts they hope to have put things right. We shall see. Meanwhile, a win fits, very serene, in a contest of at least three goals total.
