Match Preview
Les Phocéens welcome Montpellier HSC to the Orange Vélodrome on Sunday for this Ligue 1 match. Les Olympiens have a strong home record against Montpellier HSC. Their 26 matches in the Orange Vélodrome in Ligue 1 have seen 12 Marseille wins, 12 draws and just two victories for Montpellier.
Olympique Marseille come into the match on a run of three wins in a row. They have picked up 10 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
L’OM won their last league match away to AS Saint-Etienne. Although there was a healthy dose of self-sabotage involved from the Greens who handed Marseille two penalties and an own goal to put them 1-3 ahead in the tie. The final score of the match was 2-4.
Dimitri Payet, who scored their first goal from the spot, is Olympique Marseille’s top scorer with ten goals in Ligue 1 this season and is 2.7/1 to score against Montpellier HSC on Sunday.
Their opponent on Sunday, Montpellier HSC, come into the match having picked up seven points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
The Paladins lost their last league match at home to Stade Brestois. Expected goals of 1.3 to 0.7 in favour of Montpellier indicates they were a little unfortunate to get nothing from the match.
This is somewhat deceptive though in that Montpellier had failed to create a big chance in the game in 90 minutes when they were awarded an injury-time penalty. Téji Savanier stepped up to convert for his side for a consolation goal. The final score of the match was 1-2.
Savanier now has seven league goals this season for Montpellier and is 5/1 to get on the scoresheet again here.
