This meeting does not lack qualifiers as it is important for the rest of the championship. While the Angevins are already seven lengths ahead of the Pailladins, a poor performance tomorrow would bog the Montpellier team to the bottom of the ranking.
After the match against Lyon and this point lost in the last minutes, the MHSC supporters experienced disillusionment. If in the game, Montpellier held out to the Rhone residents, they did not manage to be killers in front of goal and were unable to maintain the draw. The Héraultais also lost Nikola Maksimovic for several months. We should therefore find a hinge with Modibo Sagnan and Bećir Omeragić. We all hope that Jordan Ferri’s performance last week was not a passing illusion against his former club and that he will be able, armband on his arm, to repeat his performance to lift the whole group up. Mousa Tamari should once again be the dynamite of the attack, even if we expect him to be more lucid in his latest choices. This can also be a meeting to revive Akor Adams who, as we can see, displays his tactical and sometimes technical weakness week after week. Finding the net again would be very important for him at the dawn of the second half of the season.
The Angevins are on a much more positive spiral with their victory last week. Fifteenth with sixteen points, the Scoists scored a small goal more than the MHSC players but above all they are much more solid defensively with twenty-six goals conceded, thirteen fewer than the Pailladins. It was behind the scenes that the week was more complicated since the players only saw part of their salaries paid due to a lack of liquidity due to TV rights. However, a solution was found with a loan taken out and the situation should return to normal next week. However, this could have affected the preparation during the week and it will be up to the Montpellier team to stifle them from the start of the match so as not to let them gain confidence. Himad Abdelli is Angevin’s top scorer with four goals and an assist.
This is clearly a match of fear, a match of all dangers. It is absolutely necessary to take the three points before the start of the return phase. This is important on an accounting level so as not to completely fall behind but also on the mental aspect. The MHSC showed some good things in the game. Now, the main need is the three points!
