Stade de la Mosson will see Montpellier take on Monaco this weekend in the 10th round of the French Ligue 1. Match day schedules for October 9 at 14:00 EAT.
Montpellier is currently 10th in the Ligue 1 table, and that has come with mixed results to this point with four victories and five defeats in their opening nine fixtures. Coming into this game, Olivier Dall’Oglio’s squad has been good at home where they have won three of the four matches to this point in front of their own fans.
Montpellier prepares for this fixture hoping to make amends following 4-2 Ligue 1 loss to Toulouse in their previous fixture. In that game, Montpellier managed 57% possession, 23 shots with six of them on target and goals scored by Nicolas Cozza (7′) and Elye Wahi (68′). Toulouse got 12 shots with six of them on target add goals by Stijn Spierings (18′), Zakaria Aboukhlal (24′), Farès Chaïbi (31′) and Brecht Dejaegere (48′).
On the other hand, Monaco will be hoping to push themselves further into a Champions League position this season, and they are now five points away from that goal. Philippe Clement’s men have been just as impressive offensively, and that is something that was on display in midweek during their latest Europa League game. Coming into this game, Monaco won five of their last six matches.
Monaco takes this trip right after 3-1 Europa League win oveer Trabzonspor in their previous fixture. In that game, Monaco had 56% possession, 23 shots with eight of them on target and goals scored by Wissam Ben Yedder (14′, 45′) and Axel Disasi (55′). Trabzonspor got six shots with two of them on target and a goal by Anastasios Bakasetas (72′).
