While the visiting team may not have the backing of a large fanbase, they face a Montpellier side struggling with numerous issues.

Match preview: Montpellier vs Reims

Montpellier and Reims face off at Stade de la Mosson in a Ligue 1 Round 31 match. In their last encounter in this competition on 6 October 2024, Reims triumphed at home with a score of 4-2. The historical record at this venue favours the visiting team, who have achieved 2 wins and 2 draws in their last 4 fixtures here. The most recent meeting at this stadium occurred on 27 August 2023, where Reims emerged victorious with a score of 3-1. Goals in that match were scored by Muse Al-Taamari (45’) for Montpellier and Yunis Abdelhamid (8’), Teddy Teuma (41’ and 56’) for Reims. In this upcoming match, the home advantage will be crucial as the teams show significant disparities in their home and away performances.

Team analysis: Montpellier

The home team currently sits in 18th place with 15 points gained from 4 wins, 3 draws, and 22 losses. In their penultimate match, they lost away at Angers SCO by 2-0, followed by a heavy defeat at home to Olympique Marseille, ending 5-1. Montpellier relies heavily on home support, with a dismal away record of 1 win and 14 losses in the last 30 matches, having scored just 6 goals while conceding 32. Conversely, they’ve managed 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses at home, with 18 goals scored and 36 conceded. In their last 10 home league games, Montpellier has secured 2 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses, garnering only 8 points from a possible 30.

In this competition, they have experienced four consecutive home defeats. Their most common halftime result in home matches has been 0-1, occurring in 5 out of 14 games. Their defensive capabilities have been notably poor, conceding at least one goal in each of their last 10 matches, while their attack has struggled, failing to score in 8 of their last 10 league games. At home, there is a trend for high-scoring matches, with 11 out of 14 concluding with more than 2.5 goals. Furthermore, they seldom score first: having only opened the scoring in 2 of their last 29 matches in Ligue 1, and from those, they led at halftime in only one and won in one. Out of 29 matches in this competition, they conceded the first goal 27 times and managed to turn the score around only 3 times.

Montpellier heads into this match under immense pressure, coming off a tenth consecutive league defeat. This includes a last match where Lucas Mincarelli scored the lone goal for the team. The home side is likely to adopt a 4-3-3 tactical setup, aiming for an offensive strategy to break their losing streak. In attack, Junior Ndiaye, Tanguy Coulibaly, and Wahbi Khazri are expected to form a forward trio, looking to exploit spaces and create opportunities against the opposition’s defence. Offensively, Montpellier tends to focus on the right flank, where Wilfried Nondollo Bille adds depth and pace to counter-attacks. However, they will be without Christopher Jullien, Enzo Tchato, Nicolas Pays, Glenn Ngosso, and Nikola Maksimović due to injuries.

Team analysis: Reims

The visiting team currently occupies 13th place, having amassed 32 points from 8 wins, 8 draws, and 14 losses. They recently secured a victory against Lens away from home (2-0) prior to their 1-0 home win against Toulouse. Interestingly, Reims has achieved better results on the road compared to at home, recording 4 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses in their last 30 away matches, with a total of 14 goals scored and 18 conceded. When playing at home, they have recorded 3 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses, having scored 16 goals and conceded 21. In their last 10 away games, Reims has gained 9 points, winning 2 matches, drawing 3, and losing 5. The team has conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, showing a lack of defensive solidity, while their attacking performance needs improvement, as they failed to score in 7 out of their last 10 league games. Throughout the season, they conceded the first goal in 18 of their 30 matches and only managed to overturn the score in 2 instances.

Stade Reims arrives at this match motivated after their recent 1-0 victory over Toulouse, marking their third win in the last four Ligue 1 matches, with the only goal scored by Jordan. The away side is expected to implement a 4-3-3 formation, focusing on fast transitions and leveraging the speed and agility of their attacking trio. Junya Ito, Jordan, and Keito Nakamura are likely to spearhead their attack. However, coach Samba Diawara will be without Reda Khadra, Joseph Okumu, Mohamed Daramy, and Yaya Fofana due to injuries.
