With the international break now come and gone, Ligue 1 is set to resume this week, and to kick off a weekend of entertainment, we will see Olympique Marseille welcome Montpellier to Stade Orange Velodrome as the hosts look to take a step closer to securing a Champions League spot for next season. Marseille currently sits in second place in Ligue 1 with 59 points in 28 matches, seven points behind PSG and two ahead of Lens in third. The hosts won their last match 2-1 over Reims, which was their fourth win in their last six league matches, along with a draw and a loss. However, their home form has taken a dip in the last few weeks as they have been unable to win any of their last four matches at home, including two draws and two losses. The hosts have been the more dominant in this fixture in recent times and are unbeaten in their last seven meetings against this opposition.

Montpellier is in a great run of form at the moment, and after their 2-1 win in their last match against Clermont, the visitors are now unbeaten in their last six matches, with five wins and a draw. They’ve gotten themselves into 11th place in Ligue 1, with 36 points in 28 matches, and will be looking to crack a top-half finish with just 10 games left this season. However, over the course of the season, Montpellier has been poor in away matches, with a record of five wins, one draw, and seven losses in 13 matches on the road. Despite their poor record in this fixture, the visitors will feel they are in good enough form to cause some problems for Marseille in this one.
