Montpellier vs Reims Prediction: Montpellier looking to get back to winning ways against Reims

On Sunday, Montpellier welcomes Reims to the Stade de la Mosson for a Ligue 1 match.

Montpellier

With no victories in their last six games, Montpellier is experiencing one of the worst runs in Ligue 1.

They were really lucky to earn that point at the Stade Gabriel Montpied last Saturday as their opponents missed two penalties.

They are currently just two points above the relegation zone without a permanent manager, and they will be keen to win this game before the season is interrupted for the 2018 World Cup.

Reims

In their first nine games of the season, Reims scored just seven goals while giving up 19 goals, allowing goals to come to them at will.

However, the Red and Whites' fortunes have drastically changed after William Still took over as interim manager in place of fired manager Oscar Garcia.

Under Still, they have sacrificed flair for solidity, as evidenced by two 0-0 ties and two one-goal victories. They have moved comfortably out of danger while climbing to 11th in the standings after scoring nine points in their last five games.

Montpellier HSC possible starting lineup:

Kamara; Sacko, Cozza, Jullien, Esteve, Maouassa; Fayad, Savanier, Ferri; Mavididi, Wahi.

Reims possible starting lineup:

Diouf; Flips, Agbadou, Abdelhamid, Locko; Ito, Matusiwa, Cajuste, Doumbia, Zeneli; Balogun.

Expert Betting Tips

Montpellier hasn't won in a long time, despite the fact that their stalemate with Clermont last weekend, and they are currently facing one of Ligue 1's in form teams.

Reims doesn't have a particularly strong offence, but they do play a fairly tight defence, thus if they can score here, they should win the match.
