Marseille take on the visitors Montpellier in the first match of round 22 in French Ligue 1. The game will be played on Friday, January 27th at Stade Velodrome (Marseille).
Marseille had shown nice results in the end of last year and got close to leading group of teams. However, two matches played in 2017 against Lyon and Monaco showed that the hosts of the match aren’t competitive as they want to – both fixtures ended with defeats, 1-3 and 1-4 respectively. So, the team is now on seventh place with 30 points gained in 21 matches and have negative 24-26 goal difference. Marseille are strong at own turf and that lose to Monaco was their first home defeat in 10 matches with six wins and three draws recorded.

Montpellier are unable to win for over a month since the middle of December. The team got eliminated from French Cup and gained only one point in three league matches. As the result, the team moved down on 13th place of Ligue 1 and close to the relegation zone. The Paladins aren’t strong in away matches, gaining only four points in 11 matches with no away wins this season. The team lost their recent four away matches with 1-6 on aggregate.
Marseille have advantage in head-to-heads between the teams. However, the reverse matchup ended with Montpellier’s win. Considering poor results of the Paladins in away games and Marseille’s strive to get back on winning tracks, we should expect the hosts to take seventh home win of the season.
Prediction for the match: Marseille to win.
