Montpellier

LLLLLL 🚑

Montpellier will be wanting a better result here after the 5-1 Ligue 1 losing effort in their last game against Marseille.

In that game, Montpellier managed 32% possession and 6 shots at goal with 1 on target. For Montpellier, the goals were scored by Wilfried Ndollo Bille (60' Own goal) and Lucas Mincarelli (83'). Marseille had 17 shots at goal with 7 on target. Mason Greenwood (8', 67'), Jonathan Rowe (74') and Adrien Rabiot (90') scored for Marseille.

Montpellier have struggled with their forward play in recent times. Their sum of goals equals just 1 vs opposition teams during the course of their last six matches. In those games, Montpellier have also seen the tally of goals against them come to 13. Regardless, we will just have to wait and see whether the trend might be maintained in this upcoming game.

Heading into this fixture, Montpellier haven’t won at home in the past 5 league matches. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

Reims

DWWLWW

Reims come into this clash following on from a 1-0 Ligue 1 win as they beat Toulouse in their previous fixture.

In that game, Reims had 52% possession and 8 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Reims was Jordan Siebatcheu (39'). Toulouse got 18 attempts at goal with 6 on target.

A series of reliable displays by the Reims defenders has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their last 6 clashes overall. In that period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 8.

Pre-game facts show that Reims:

• are undefeated by Montpellier when having played them away from home in the previous 5 league games. A very good record, indeed.
• have not been beaten in their last 2 away league matches.
