Montpellier managed to end 2022 with a positive result, beating Lorient through two goals without reply. Teji Savanier immediately broke into Lorient’s goal when the game had only been running for about three minutes, complemented by Elye Wahi’s action which wrapped up the second goal.
With this victory, Montpellier managed to improve its performance without losing in the last three league matches – one win and two draws. An additional five points brought Roman Pitau’s team to improve their position to 13th place with a four point advantage compared to Brest and Auxerre who were already in the relegation area.
The maximum result against Lorient also marked the first win for Pitau since taking over as coach of La Paillade. Unfortunately, Montpellier is currently having a bad record by winning only three of the 15 matches that took place at its own headquarters.
In contrast, Marseille have only failed to bring home points once – four wins and two draws – in their last seven league visits, namely against Paris Saint-Germain in mid-October.
Les Olympiens also always scored at least two goals in five of the seven away matches. This positive note helped push Marseille’s position to third place in the standings, 11 points behind PSG, who are at the top of the standings.
On a head-to-head basis, Marseille are unbeaten in their last six league matches against Montpellier – four wins including in the last meeting and two draws. Montpellier last won a victory over Marseille when playing at home in November 2018 with a landslide score of 3-0.
