The last two meetings between Montpellier and Red Star both ended 1-1, even though the games played out differently. This time both teams are very close together in the upper part of the table, just a point apart, and both are in good form, which makes this match more worth watching than usual. Montpellier are back to their usual standard after losing at home earlier. They have been picking up wins in the league consistently and just thrashed their opponents 3-0 in the latest match. Their attack is starting to click, and their defence has not conceded many goals over the season. Red Star are no lesser side, having won nearly every match recently and scoring more than one goal in several games. They only stumbled with a 0-1 loss in the latest match. This game is likely to be a midfield battle with both sides trading blows, as they have similar possession and create comparable chances. The first thing to watch after kick-off is how Red Star set up defensively to handle Montpellier's red-hot attack. If they close the gaps and avoid conceding early, the game will drag on and is highly likely to end in a close contest.
