Marseille vs Montpellier prediction: Both teams to get on the scoresheet
Key stats

Correct score prediction: Marseille 3-1 Montpellier
Marseille have clearly struggled recently, but they remain in the race for a spot in the Champions League next season and with that in mind, a duel with Montpellier, who are dead-last in the standings and on a 10-game losing streak, comes at a perfect time for the hosts.
So, Marseille should win this match comfortably, but we can see them conceding a goal as well since that's what usually happens when these two teams meet.

- DRAW: 6/1 (7.00) – 14.30%

Marseille preview: Hoping to end their poor run of form
After losing four of their last five games, Marseille have now jeopardised a spot in the Champions League for next season. They are still on pace to get there since they're still third in the Ligue 1 standings, but a few teams are withing a couple of points of them and Marseille will have to be great in the remainder of the season to stay where they are.
Meanwhile, Luiz Felipe and Leonardo Balerdi are out with injuries for Marseille.
Predicted lineup: Rulli (GK), Murillo, Kondogbia, Garcia, Luis Henrique, Rongier, Bennacer, Dedic, Gouiri, Maupay & Rabiot

Montpellier preview: Already packing their bags
With 15 points from 29 games, Montpellier are stuck in the last place in Ligue 1 standings. They've lost nine matches in a row and while they are still theoretically not relegated, they are certainly going to be playing in Ligue 2 next season.
Andy Delort, Christopher Jullien, Enzo Tchato, and Nikola Maksimovic are all sidelined with injuries, while Bamo Meite is suspended.

Player to watch: Mason Greenwood
The English winger has scored 16 goals this season for Marseille and that is enough to put him in the second place in Ligue 1 when it comes to top scorers, only behind Ousmane Dembele of PSG. With that in mind, we expect Greenwood to shine against Montpellier too.
