Montpellier form and stats
The story so far in the Ligue 1 for Montpellier at their home stadium (Stade de la Mosson) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
A strong away win for Montpellier against Lorient the last match, as Savanier and Wahi were on target. A huge relief, as that was the first three points in the league after playing, but not winning, seven games in a row. The goalie Omlin was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.7 out of ten. Omlin topped it up with a clean sheet.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Reims that ended 1-1.Montpellier are traveling soon after this match as the Coupe de France match at Pau awaits in four days.
The Montpellier fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Montpellier defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Impressive finishing from Ünder, Rongier, Payet, Kolašinac and Tavares secured the home win 6-1 against Toulouse in their previous game. As you can tell from the results above, Olympique Marseille was very dominant against Toulouse, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 6-1 (!) with Ünder, Rongier, Payet, Kolašinac and Tavares providing the goals.
