With their 2 point advantage in the league table, Montpellier fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Brest.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Montpellier and Brest.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Montpellier form and stats
19 points is a decent return from 9 Ligue 1 games here at Stade de la Mosson for Montpellier. The data says 6 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.
The fans are hoping that Montpellier will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Coupe de la Ligue game against Reims (placed 6th). Heartbreak before that as Montpellier lost 1-2 at Lille's place.
The Montpellier fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 15 goals in 9 league matches. From these home matches, Montpellier have conceded only 8 goals.
Brest form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Brest so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-5 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on O. Dall’Oglio, the Brest manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
The attacking players of Brest have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.
Brest are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the Coupe de la Ligue against Bordeaux (placed 7th). A draw for Brest before that, at their own venue hosting Nice (0-0).
The attacking power of Brest when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. Brest have conceded 14 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Montpellier won 6, Brest won 1 and 3 draws. 6 games with over 2,5 goals, 4 matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
