Montpellier is a famous club from the city of the same name, which will play in the top division of French football for the 13th year in a row. Many football fans can remember the 2011/2012 season, when the team sensationally became the winner of Ligue 1. Beyond that, the Paladins have two victories in the French Cup. Every year Montpellier is stepping up. The team took a place in the TOP-8 in three seasons in a row.

Marseille is a club that always set a goal to fight for the champion’s title in France. Last season was not very successful. In the final standings of Ligue 1, the team took only 5th place. The Olympians have lagged behind all their principal opponents. Now footballers can only be content with playing in the UEFA Europa League group stage. To improve the results in the 2021/2022 season, the management has spent over 40 million euros. The club was strengthened by ten new players (four purchases, two loans, and two free agents). In most cases, these are well-known players such as Under, Pau Lopez, Guendouzi, Saliba, and Gerson Santos.
Montpellier plays at home. The team can be attributed to the tough middle peasants, having the qualities of a cup fighter. The team has a temper, so it will not be easy for the visitors to gain victory. Marseille is the TOP team by the standards of local football. The squad is well-equipped, and there are many well-known and solid footballers. We are expecting a goal-scoring match. Two head-to-head confrontations of the 2020/2021 season took place this year. In Marseille, the hosts won 3-1, and the second game ended in a 3-3 battling draw. In the previous championship, the Paladins were among the three teams that played with Over 2.5 goals scored more often than others (63% of games).
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
