"Strasbourg" on Sunday will play at home with "Montpellier" in the framework of the 22nd round of the French Ligue 1. Your attention is invited to the forecast for this match.
"Strasbourg"
Strasbourg started to get stuck in the relegation zone again, taking 18th place in the standings, 4 points behind the saving zone. After the arrival of the new head coach Mathieu le Scornet, the team gave out two great matches, achieving a draw at home with Lance (2:2), and defeating Lyon (2:1) on the road. But the courage passed, so in the last two rounds the Strasbourg team lost to Toulouse (1:2) and Rennes (0:3) away.
"Montpellier"
Montpellier is performing slightly better this season, being in 14th place in the standings, coming off only 2 points from the relegation zone. Over the past five weeks, the Paladins have played 6 official matches, in which they suffered 5 defeats. In the last two home matches in the championship, they lost to Nantes (0:3) and PSG (1:3), between them they defeated Auxerre (2:0) on the road, thanks to Mavididi's double.

Both teams have been looking a little weak in defense lately, while often scoring themselves. Montpellier honed their counterplay well, thanks to which they began to achieve success on the road. "Strasbourg" has nowhere to retreat – it is necessary to play only to win, especially with direct competitors in the struggle for survival. I think that in this meeting the standard big total will be broken.
