Montpellier form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Montpellier's two home games in the Ligue 1 so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stade de la Mosson.

A good away victory last time out for Montpellier, who won 7-0 against Brest (placed 14th). As mentioned above, Montpellier "killed" Brest in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. The attacker Wahi was named "man of the match" for Montpellier with a rating of 8.82/10. Wahi scored two goals, hit the woodwork once, served one assist and hit one key pass.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Auxerre (1-2).

Ajaccio form and stats

It's not happening yet for Ajaccio on their Ligue 1 travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With two straight losses from their last two away games, Ajaccio are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Midfield player Marchetti was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.35/10. Marchetti hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 32 successful passes (of 40 total).

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Rennes's place.

A new game in only four days for Ajaccio, the Ligue 1 home match versus Lorient. Busy days.
