Prediction

  • Roberto De Zerbi's side will be hoping for a reaction after they drew 1-1 to strugglers Angers at the Vélodrome just before the international break.
  • Les Olympiens make the trip across the Rhône estuary to face a struggling and injury-ridden Montpellier side who have poorly started the Ligue 1 season.
  • Montpellier have not won any of their last 10 matches against Marseille in Ligue 1 (4 draws, 6 defeats) and could establish their longest winless run against them in the top flight.
