Montpellier, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 away win over Lorient in their last league game, Montpellier will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They came away from that fixture with 52% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Lorient managed 12 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Romain Pitau will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 5 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Stade de la Mosson. Romain Pitau will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at Stade de la Mosson, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Marseille, Recent FormIn their last match Marseille enforced their superiority over Toulouse with a 6-1 home win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Toulouse had 10 shots on goal with 6 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Gerson Santos da Silva will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Montpellier in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Marseille.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Marseille produced a comfortable 2-0 victory.
Les Olympiens will be confident of finding the net in this one against Montpellier, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 6 encounters between the two sides. Marseille have a good attacking record away to La Paillade in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
Montpellier have lost the last 2 times they've faced Marseille in the league and have failed to win in their last 6 encounters.
Marseille player Dimitri Payet has scored 2 times in the previous 3 matches against Montpellier away at Stade de la Mosson in the league and will be looking for more of the same in this match.
Montpellier manager Romain Pitau has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Dimitry Bertaud (Cruciate ligament), Wahbi Khazri (Sprained ankle) and Théo Sainte-Luce (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Amine Harit (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Mattéo Guendouzi (Ankle) also unavailable in the shorter term, Marseille manager Igor Tudor will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
