Football prediction of Ligue 1, France
The match Montpellier - Marseille started the 12th round of the French "Ligue 1". The match will be played this Friday, November 4th, from 21:45 to "Stade de la Moson" in Montpellier.
Montpellier is a far cry from the time when he won in France in 2012. They are currently on 16th place again waiting pretty tough season in which may not qualify for European club tournaments.
After the heavy defeat by Monaco with 2: 6 October 21, Montpellier made it 2: 2 away to Lorient last weekend. It was the second draw for them in the last four games in which they have only one success. In the previous five meetings home team has two wins, two draws and one loss so that their presentation of "Stade de la Moson" good.
The hosts will be without central defender Daniel Kongre who is injured. Kasemir Ning did a long-term out because of torn cruciate ligament.
The team of Marseille is in 10th place with a total of 14 points. They are very difficult to beat squad lately, but rarely wins. Marseille conceded just two goals in their last five games in the "Ligue 1".
Rudy Garcia managed to stabilize the team, but has yet a lot of work. In the last round Marseille made 0: 0 at home against Bordeaux and previously earned point away to champions Paris Saint Germain after new goalless draw.
Defensive midfielder Abou Diaby is the only absentee for Marseille with an ankle injury. Clinton N'Dzhie can start as a starter in this match, along with Bafétimbi Gomis in attack if guests decide to play a more attacking.
In the last three games, Marseille has two wins and a draw against Montpellier. The team from the "Stade Vélodrome" is in much better shape, but their opponent is strong in front of their own crowd. That is why I expect to see goals in two doors in this meeting, which is expected to be fairly equal.
