Olympique Marseille vs Montpellier Prediction & Betting tips
Olympique Marseille and Montpellier both started the season moderately with only one point from the first two games, but now both teams seem to have found their form. Can we expect a high-quality game on Saturday?
Olympique Marseille:
Olympique Marseille seemed to have a good chance of a visit to Monaco last weekend after a 2-0 deficit within half an hour, but the Marzilians only needed half an hour to completely reverse the game. By goals from Dario Benedetto (two), Dmitri Payet and Valère Germain, the team of André Villas-Boas took a 4-2 lead after more than an hour of play and despite the connection goal of the Monegasken, the Marzilians were able to successfully complete their comeback. with a 4-3 win. With ten points, of which nine from the last three games, l’OM has now moved up to a shared second place with only two points behind Paris Saint-Germain.
The Villas-Boas team looks a little shaky this season, as witnessed by the six goals this season. The Portuguese trainer has clearly not yet found his ideal defensive line, but it seems clear that club icon Steve Mandanda is the undisputed number one in the goals this season. The 34-year-old French goalkeeper has saved forty times this season, most of all the goalkeepers in the Ligue 1.
Montpellier:
Montpellier managed to get a hold on Olympique Nice last game round with a hard-won 2-1 win for the 1-0 defeat to Nantes from a week earlier. Despite a 1-0 deficit after just over half an hour of play, Michel Der Zakarian’s team remained focused and that resulted just before and just after the halftime signal in a goal for la Paillade. In the remainder of the game, the Der Zakarian team successfully managed to defend the lead, allowing the team to add three points and now stands at seven points.
Last season, strikers Andy Delort and Gaëtan Laborde both scored eleven goals in the Ligue 1 (not counting penalties) and the latter was more effective on paper than Delort, but this season Laborde has shown very little. The former player of Girondins de Bordeaux shot only three times and for the time being came only on the game form by a yellow card and an assist. So far, Der Zakarian has opted to let his striker play at least eighty minutes every match, but if the Frenchman does not perform better, he may soon end up on the bench.
