Previous head-to-head meetings, starting from June 2021, show that the hosts were more successful in these matches. When making a prediction for Marseille vs Montpellier, it is important to know that the guests have not been able to secure a single victory, while Olympique was stronger in 67% of the games. There was no shortage of goals in these matches: 22 goals for two teams, on average - 3.67 goals per match. The last league match involving these teams took place on Matchday 17 of Ligue 1 and brought a 2-1 victory to the hosts. Marseille have not lost to guests in the league in their last seven meetings.

Marseille

In the last round, the gap between the leading PSG and second-placed Marseille was reduced to seven points. However, this was not due to the success of Marseille in the match against Reims (1:2) – Parisians themselves lost in that round. However, “Lance” is still sitting at the bottom of the table. There are only two points between the teams in second and third places. Therefore, Marseille cannot afford to fail in the near future. And before the break for the national team matches, Marseille did not perform very reliably – three wins, as well as one loss and one draw in five matches. Moreover, once the team lost points in a game against Strasbourg from the bottom of the table (2:2).

Montpellier

The statistics of the recent games for “Montpellier” are even better than for “Marseille”. In the last five rounds, the team won four times and drew once. However, they only managed to beat lower-ranked opponents. It was against “Lance” from the third place that the team coached by Michel Der Zakarian lost points (1:1). Despite such confident results, “Montpellier” is still in the middle of the table. With 36 points, the team is in 11th place, trailing “Lyon” in 10th place by five points. “Paladins” do not play very reliably in defense. The team has one of the highest numbers of conceded goals among the top 15 teams in Ligue 1. More successful soccer prediction can be obtained from the link provided.

Prediction

Our expert pick: It won't be easy for "Marseille" in this game - "Montpellier" is in good form. However, after the break for international matches, the "blue and whites" will be fresh and able to dominate the game against the "paladins". The home team can still fight for first place. The motivation for the guests is not so great - it's unlikely they will be able to participate in European competitions next season. We bet on the Asian handicap (-1) for "Marseille". This outcome is estimated at 1.79 in the line from the bookmaker 1xBet. But we don't believe that the hosts will achieve a clean sheet victory here. "Montpellier" will definitely resist their opponent. We think that "Paladins" can score here. In four out of five of their head-to-head matches, both teams scored. So we are still betting on both teams to score. This option received a quote of 1.96 in the bookmaker's line. Place a bet with 22bet registration bonus a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.70.
