The 8th day of Ligue 1 will end on Sunday evening at La Mosson after a clash between Montpellier and Marseille. Discover the probable lineups, the injured and our predictions around this poster of the French championship.
Montpellier is undoubtedly one of the most disappointing teams at the start of the championship. Akor Adams’ partners are in 17th place after seven days, with only four points taken. Only one victory on the clock for the Montpellier residents was against Auxerre on September 22 (3-2). The season promises to be long and delicate for the MHSC which will have to fight for its survival for many months.
Opposite, Olympique de Marseille suffered a first setback in its fight for the title with Monaco and Paris. The Phocaeans took only one point out of six against Strasbourg (1-0) and against Angers (1-1), and therefore distanced themselves from the leading duo. They will have to reverse the trend as soon as the championship resumes. Facing Montpellier, OM will have to take three imperative points.
Information on the MHSC and its wounded
Al Tamari, Jullien, Kouyaté, Maamma, Sainte-Luce and Sagnan are absent from Montpellier.
Starting XI : Bertaud – Sacko, Omeragić, Džodić, Davin – Chotard, Touré – Nordin, Savanier, Khazri – Adams.
Information on OM and its injured
Quentin Merlin, Valentin Carboni and Ismaël Koné are absent from Marseille. Maupay is suspended and Faris Moumbagna and Bilal Nadir are long injured. Roberto De Zerbi announced that Adrien Rabiot would start.
Starting XI : Rulli – Murillo, Balerdi, Cornelius, Garcia – Højbjerg, Rabiot – Greenwood, Harit, Henrique – Revelation.
Plagued by doubts after the results against Strasbourg and Angers, OM should start this meeting in Montpellier with difficulties in deploying their game.
More discreet since his double against Toulouse (3-1) at the end of August, Greenwood should prove decisive again against an opponent who has already conceded 21 goals this season.
The final prognosis of this meeting seems quite obvious to us. Olympique de Marseille should return to victory against Montpellier, and quite well.
Montpellier HSC 0 – 3 Olympique de Marseille
