Ligue 1: Monaco – Montpellier, predictions, probable line-ups, match channel
This Sunday, Téji Savanier’s Montpellier will visit Aurélien Tchouaméni’s Monaco, in a midfield duel already more than expected.
A five-star Sunday afternoon, with no more no less a Clasico in Spain, a Manchester United-Liverpool in England and a duel between Naples and AS Rome in Italy. Interposed between all this, this meeting between Monaco and Montpellier has everything to seem anecdotal. However, the two teams are among the most attractive in France, and even internationally. Monaco, winner this week at PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League (2-1), is became a top 5 competitor again after a difficult start to the season. After their defeat in Lyon last week (2-0), Wissam Ben Yedder’s teammates must find their way back to victory in Ligue 1.
Opposite, Montpellier is guided by a gala Téji Savanier, but fails to find a defensive balance that will allow him to move up to the top of the standings. Winner of a high-level match against Lens last week (1-0), Valère Germain’s teammates ended a series of draws, and finally hold their reference meeting of the season, both offensively and defensively. Against Monaco, the objective will be to find continuity in the game, in order to finally chain two consecutive victories in Ligue 1 this year.
The editorial score: 2-1
Following on from their solid match against PSV Eindhoven, Monaco should manage to revive in the league and pick up on the top of the standings by winning against Montpellier.
