Montpellier vs Marseille Prediction
La Paillade are undefeated in their last three league outings and will be looking to maintain that run in this match. They have scored at least two goals in four of their last five home games against Marseille and should be able to produce a solid display in this match.
After a bit of a rough patch in their league games between October and November, losing three of their four league games, Les Phocéens have won three games in a row. They have scored 10 goals in that period while conceding four times and are expected to produce a strong performance.
Considering the recent history between the two teams, we are backing the visitors to eke out a narrow win.
