On March 31, Stade Vélodrome (Marseille) will host the match of the 29th round of the French Ligue, in which Marseille will compete with Montpellier. The battle will start at 21:00 CET.

Marseille


The team won back its positions in the previous season. Then, Jorge Sampaoli raised “the Provencals” to the 2nd place – only the unconditional local giant, PSG, was higher. Still, even having the higher mentioned success, the Argentinian specialist managed to quarrel with the club managements in the summer – he decided to quit because of the refusal to reach several transfers. However, his successor, Igor Tudor, is not bad. There are shortcomings and failures: the 4th place in the Champions League group and the elimination from the Coupe de France in the match against semi-amateur Annecy are the great proofs of it. Still, everything is compensated by the fact that the team is staying in the same 2nd place where Olympique finished last spring. Although misfires have intensified recently, but so far, Malinovsky and company are still holding the position above Lens and other pursuers. The distance between them is not minimal, but the team does not feel confident.

Montpellier


The club has not been able to reach the peak that brought the sensational league title in 2012. Moreover, the previous draw resulted in the 13th place. Only few things can be called as the successful ones in the new season, and it was logical that Der Zakarian returned to the coaching position in February. He had already led “La Paillade” for quite a long time, in 2017-2021. Moreover, he played more than two hundred matches in this club himself. His new return brought a noticeable improvement in the game – after 5 defeats in 6 matches of the Ligue 1, on the contrary, the team took 5 wins and a draw in the struggle with Lens, which is one of the leaders of the current season. It is reasonable to mention that even after such a break-through, the club did not rise to the top of the standings – the pause was spent in the 11th place.

The statistics of head-to-head matches


The last time Montpellier won its head-to-head match was back in 2018. After that, Marseille won 6 of 8 battles in regular time and overcame the opponent on penalties in the Coupe de France.

Predictions


Bookmakers are confident in the victory of Marseille. Taking into account the motivation and the factor of arena, it is suitable to bet on the hosts with “a -1.0 goal handicap” (odd: 1.68).
