On a cloud for several weeks, LOSC must be wary as a new Sunday game approaches. This time, unlike last season, we will have to avoid seeing red in Montpellier. Let's leave this color to the opposite camp.
Where and how to follow the meeting?
Back on French territory with three additional points in the bag, those awarded following the victory logically won in Bologna (1-2) in the Champions League, LOSC is preparing to find a team in difficulty in the championship. This is Montpellier, bottom of Ligue 1 McDonald's and the team having conceded the greatest number of goals since the start of the 2024-2025 financial year in the five major European championships.
This meeting, scheduled for this Sunday, December 1 at 3 p.m., will be broadcast on DAZN. If you do not have a subscription to the British platform, you can enjoy a friendly atmosphere between supporters at our partner restaurant / pub: At Office V2 located at 21 avenue Avenir at Heron Parc, 59650 Villeneuve d'Ascq.

Wilfried Bien et Christian Guillard

History of recent meetings
LOSC is not just any opponent for Montpellier HSC, but its bête noire in France. It's simple, the Héraultais have not won any of their last 12 games (4 draws, 8 defeats) against LOSC in Ligue 1. This is quite simply their longest series currently in progress against the same opponent and it is not their status as a red lantern, or a wounded beast, which will prove to be a contrary argument. However, every series inevitably approaches its end. In front of their home crowd at the Stade la Mosson, Montpellier is in more than decent form with two wins in their last four home games in Ligue 1, as many as in their 15 previous home games (8 draws, 5 losses). Mistrust.

Summary of the last meeting
On Sunday January 28, LOSC players returned to the joys of the championship after qualifying for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France by slapping the Golden Lions (12-0). However, externally, they were mired in a dark dynamic, frequently falling outside their bases. This time, they were slowed down in their momentum by the early exclusion of Ayyoub Bouaddi (45+1′) for his first start in the elite. Thus, despite real opportunities, notably through rides by Zhegrova, an attempt by Angel Gomes or even the entries of Yusuf Yazici and Adam Ounas, the Mastiffs were forced to settle for a draw in the 'Hérault (0-0).
