Marseille, Recent FormThe Marseille players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Brest recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Brest's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
There will be mixed feelings from Les Olympiens, although undefeated in their last 11 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Montpellier, Recent FormWhen Montpellier last played in the league they faced Metz and produced an outstanding 3-0 home win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 54%, while racking up 21 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Metz had 14 shots on goal with 4 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 5 of their 10 games on the road.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.
Arnaud Nordin is the man of the moment at Montpellier right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The La Paillade defence has struggled against Marseille in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 games.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Marseille hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 9 meetings.
Marseille manager Gennaro Gattuso has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Amir Murillo (Muscle), Valentin Rongier (Knee surgery) and Jordan Veretout (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Montpellier manager Michel Der Zakarian ahead of this clash, with Christopher Jullien (Foot) missing out, which gives Der Zakarian a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
