After seven rounds in which they did not know of a victory in Ligue 1, Montpellier finally managed to break the dry period in the previous round and triumphed against Lorient with 2-0. It was a series during which Montpellier had as many as five consecutive defeats and then two tied draws, so the victory came at the right moment. Now Roman Pitou's team has 17 points won in the 13th place of the table and is four points away from the relegation zone, and is just as far from the top half of the table. What Montpellier can worry about is the game at home. In the last 15 matches in front of their fans, Montpellier won only three times, and in the last three rounds they played at home, they managed to win only a point. Marseille is on a 3-match winning streak in Ligue 1, having followed up their two wins before the World Cup with a convincing 6-1 triumph against Toulouse in the last round. Igor Tudor's team managed to raise their form after very lackluster games during the month of October, but fortunately for the fans, this did not affect their position at the table. Marseille is currently in third place with 33 points won, behind Lens, which has 40, and PSG, which is first with 44 points, and it was against Lens yesterday that it suffered its first defeat of the season, so now Tudor's team can reduce the gap to the "Saints" and continue the following Lens. Montpellier is in a subordinate position compared to Marseille in the last ten matches as they managed to celebrate only once, while Marseille registered five victories, and four games ended in a draw. The last time Montpellier beat Marseille in Ligue 1 was four years ago. I expect another strong performance from Marseille players.
