Marseille vs Montpellier Prediction & Betting Tips (19 April)

The Marseille awakening, without convincing against Toulouse 3-2, remained ephemeral. On the move to Monaco last Saturday, OM took the water at Louis-II 3-0 and was doubled by its executioner in the ranking. Now 3rd at an ASM point, the Marseille club remains virtually qualified for the Champions League but must find regularity on the end of the season so as not to fall from the podium. He was defeated on 4 of the last 5 days, including in Reims 3-1 after the international break. The final sprint is trying. Montpellier, last last in Ligue 1 to 12 points from the virtual barragist, can be officially relegated to Marseille.

The club and coach Jean-Louis Gasset ended their collaboration and Zoumana Camara, who arrived at the raised foot, knew his first on the Montpellier bench last weekend. Opposed to a team of Angers in mixture, his players were beaten 2-0, aligning a 10th loss of rank, the 7th successive without scoring. In search of a first goal since February 16, the Montpellier players were shaken by their president Laurent Nicollin after this umpteenth blunder. The club adventure in Ligue 1 is about to end. There is no longer any hope of maintaining yourself. 

In Marseille, the defensive Taulier Balerdi, a return before the end of the season is uncertain, is the only one injured in the workforce of Roberto de Zerbi. Mbemba still remains outside the plans of the Italian coach. It is therefore with an almost complete group that OM appears against Montpellier. The executives will have to catch up with the debacle in Monaco. Among them, Luis Henrique whose attitude on the ground is pointed out. The Algerians Gouiri (4 goals) and Bennacer (middle) have taken thickness in the team since their arrival this winter. They have just signed their return and should find a place in the starting eleven.

In recent weeks, Gouiri is more influential than the top scorer of the club, Greenwood (16 achievements in Ligue 1). Montpellier troops are always injured in defense by the packages of Maksimovic, Dzodzic and Jullien in addition to the suspension that Meïté, loaned by Marseille, will finish to serve this Saturday evening. The right side Thato is hoped for by Zoumana Camara while the young Issoufou could declare again. The new coach wants to prepare for the future of his team. With this in mind, he preferred to use against Angers the young Ndollo Bille on the right side of the defense in place of Sacko.
