On January 4, OL will host Montpellier for the 16th day of Ligue 1. A future opponent going through a dark sporting period.
On December 23, it's hard to say that the situation at Montpellier Hérault Sporting Club could be worse. We are of course only halfway through the race, but the MHSC is going through a difficult sporting moment, between last place in Ligue 1 and early elimination in the Coupe de France. Saturday, Jean-Louis' men Gasset were humiliated by Le Puy Foot, resident of National 2 (4-0). “A shame” which is going badly after the very poor results of the first part of the season for the Héraultais (only two successes).
Certainly happy to be able to take advantage of the break to start again on new bases, the Montpellier residents will take a breather for a few days before returning to training. In their sights, the trip to Décines to start the calendar year on Saturday January 4, 2025 (9 p.m.).
0 points away from home for Montpellier this season
You will have understood, Olympique Lyonnais will receive training in full doubt. The red lantern of the championship has not won since November 10 and has not won a single away poster during the 2024-2025 financial year. Worst team on the road, Montpellier even lost its seven matches away from its bases, scoring only three goals.
OL will therefore largely have the costume of the favorite for this part, but they will still have to prepare well for this meeting, starting on December 30 for the return to work. Distrust for Peter's men Sagebecause if the MHSC is a wounded beast, it could still cause problems for the people of Rhône.
