It's Mr. Florent Batta 44 years old, from the Mediterranean League, who will be on the whistle during the ASSE – Montpellier HSC meeting, which will take place at Geoffroy-Guichard this Saturday, November 23, at 7:00 p.m., on behalf of the 12th day of the Ligue 1 championship.

He will be assisted by MM. Brice Parinet Le Tellier and Gwénaël Pasqualotti, Mr. Brendan Rofet being the 4th. Video assistance will be provided by MM. Dominique Julien and Maxime Apruzzese.

Mr. Batta's 2024-2025 season in Ligue 1:

• 4 matches refereed
• 3 wins at home, 1 away (at Geoffroy-Guichard).
• 18 yellow cards (4.5 / match L1 average is 4.0)
• 1 rouge
• 26 fouls called on average per match, compared to 24 in the championship.

Mr. Beat has also led three Ligue 2 matches since last August during which he drew 13 yellow cards, including 9 during the Annecy-Pau match.

This season he crossed paths with ASSE once on the second day, and it's not a good memory. Defeat at Geoffroy-Guichard (0-2) against Le Havre with a penalty whistled against the Greens for a foul by Appiah. If he has not yet crossed paths with the Héraultais in 2024-25, they have undoubtedly not forgotten their last performance in his presence. They were swept away in March on their lawn by PSG (2-6) with a hat-trick from Mbappé.

M. Batta and the ASSE in L1:

• 9 matches refereed
• 5 wins
• 1 nul
• 3 defeats

Mr. Beat was in charge, during a round of 16 of the Coupe de France lost to Bergerac (0-1) in 2022 and a Ligue 2 match won by ASSE against Dunkirk (2-0) in 2023.

Mr. Batta and the MHSC in L1:

• 11 matches coached
• 3 victories
• 3 draws
