Marseille vs Montpellier Game Preview, Live Stream, Odds, Picks & Predictions

As expected, Marseille dominates the soccer odds thanks to a -200 price.

Let’s check the latest news, stats, injury reports, and France League 1 for Marseille vs Montpellier. We’ve plenty of predictions for you to consider.

The Curious Case of Marseille

If you put PSG aside, the Ligue 1 is a very competitive tournament. There are only nine points between second and seventh place. That’s why I’m not exaggerating when I say that Marseille has had a great season.

The Olympians won their last three domestic games with a 10-4 aggregate. Most recently, they came from behind to defeat Saint-Etienne 4-2. Dimitri Payet, Timothee Kolodziejczak (own goal), Bamba Dieng, and Amine Harit were the scorers.

That was Marseille’s tenth victory on the road. Curiously enough, the Olympians have won four more games on the road than at home. Now, that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to be the betting online favorites. Their last home game finished with a 2-1 victory over Nice, one of the teams fighting to qualify for a UEFA competition.

Individually, you’ll want to pay close attention to Dimitri Payet. He leads the team’s scoring chart with 10 goals. He also leads the assists department with nine. It seems like he really wants that MVP award.

Collectively, the Olympians won four of their last four games when playing as the favorites. I told you they were having a great season.

Montpellier Aiming for the Top 10

Montpellier started the season on the right foot but couldn’t keep up. That’s why they’re currently sitting out of the top 10. To be more precise, three points behind Lens, which is the team sitting in tenth place.

The visitors lost three of their last five games, including last Sunday’s clash with Stade Brestois. They were playing at home and still lost 2-1. Once again, winning possession (60 percent) didn’t help much.

The good news, in case you’re considering including them in your Soccer picks, is this… they won two of their last three road games. because they also didn’t allow a single goal in those games.

Offensively, Stephy Mavididi has been leading the way. He’s the team’s top scorer with eight goals (we should say) he shares the top spot with Elye Wahi, while Tedy Savanier follows them with seven goals. Not depending on a single player to make things happen will always be a huge advantage.

Montpellier is offering a very tempting +525 price in the sportsbook. You could win $625 per every $100 bet on the visitors.

Marseille vs Montpellier Head-to-Head

• Marseille Victories: 33 (113 goals)
• Montpellier Victories: 17 (88 goals)
• Draws: 23

Their first meeting was a goal-fest that ended with a 3-2 victory for Marseille. The crazy part was that the Olympians overcame a two-goal deficit with three goals in a 12-minute span. Yes… Luan Peres and Gaetan Laborde scored for Montpellier in the first half. Cengiz Under and Dimitri Payet, twice,  and for Marseille in the second one.

We’re talking about a very even series, at least over their last 10 encounters. Marseille owns a 4-4-2 record, and the total went over in six of those games.

Marseille vs Montpellier Prediction

Marseille wants to seal its ticket for the UEFA Champions League as soon as possible. Defeating Montpellier is crucial. Rennes, Strasbourg, and Nice are the teams hunting Marseille and will face tough challenges over the weekend. That means the Olympians could take advantage of that to increase their advantage.

I don’t expect another goal-fest, but I do expect the total to go over. Marseille scored in eight of their last 10 games in all competitions. Montpellier did the same in seven of their last 10 matches.

Score Prediction: Marseille 2, Montpellier 1

Pick: Over 2½ at -140
