DIRECT. Montpellier – OM: follow the match

20:27 – A catastrophic outcome

Before this Montpellier – OM, the Héraultais only have four small points after seven matches played. A starving record for Michel Der Zakarian’s men who are still chasing a second success this season. Montpellier’s defense is particularly fragile since it is the worst in the elite this season with already 21 goals conceded.

20:20 – Wahi’s reunion with Mosson

The Olympian striker will be particularly scrutinized this evening during this Montpellier – OM. Elye Wahi returns to his former club which allowed him to prove himself at a high level. In addition, the OM center forward has been criticized since his arrival at the Marseille club. With one small goal scored in six matches in Ligue 1, Wahi seeks to regain confidence.

20:13 – Marseille comfortable against Montpellier

This Montpellier – OM is therefore unbalanced on paper. Marseille seems above and the results of direct confrontations confirm this trend. The Phocéens are undefeated against the Héraultais in the last eleven clashes. MHSC’s last success against OM dates back to November 2019.

20:06 – OM wants to get back on track

Unlike their evening opponent, OM has a rather positive balance sheet after seven days. However, the dynamics leave something to be desired. Indeed, before the international break, Marseille remained in two unsuccessful matches against opponents who are inferior to them on paper. A third meeting in a row without success would be a task.

19:59 – Team compositions

We know the two starting eleven of this Montpellier – OM. On the Hérault side, Michel Der Zakarian therefore stuck to what he had said at the press conference. Benjamin Lecomte finds a starting place in the cages. The MHSC XI: Lecomte – Sacko, Omeragic, Touré, Sylla – Nzingoula, Chotard – Nordin, Savanier, Coulibaly – Adams.

Opposite, Roberto De Zerbi chose Adrien Rabiot in midfield who is therefore celebrating his first start with OM. The Marseille XI: Rulli, Lirola Balerdi, Cornelius, Garcia – Hojbjerg, Rabiot – Greenwood, Harit, Rowe – Wahi.

19:52 – Sad news for Marseille supporters

This Montpellier – OM will take place without the Olympian supporters. However, there was no travel ban. But according to journalist Karim Attab, the Marseille fans arrived in too large numbers and therefore cannot enter the enclosure.
