Montpellier will host Reims at the Stade de la Mosson this Sunday as Ligue 1 returns to action with another round of fixtures.

Montpellier are currently in 14th place in the league table with only 13 points to show all season, while their visitors sit three spots above them in 11th. Right now, Montpellier are having one of the worst runs in LIgue 1, having failed to win any of their last six games. They secured a draw in their last match, but the 5 games before that ended in horrible back to back losses. In that same time period they conceded an embarrassing total of 13 goals. What a poor run of performances. Montpellier have the second worst defense in the league with 28 goals conceded so far, and only bottom placed Angers have conceded more with 33. They remain without a permanent manager, sit two points above the relegation zone and will have a lot to worry about going into this game.

Reims on the other hand are currently on a six-match unbeaten streak. They sit at 11 points going into this game and will be looking to extend their unbeaten run. Reims will go into this match on the back of a 2-1 win in their last game and will be building on that momentum. Amongst the run of games they had in their last 6, they held out group leaders, PSG to a draw, securing a point against an incredible side.

Looking at key numbers going into this match has shown that Reims have the upper hand in this fixture. The last three meetings between Montpellier and Reims have ended in draws, and the three that came before that all ended in victory for Reims. This will be a cause for concern for the hosts, and a boost of morale for the visitors. Reims have also shown a very good resilience in games where they have struggled to score by fighting it out to earn themselves a draw. No Ligue 1 side have drawn more matches than Reims this season, as they’ve drawn seven of their opening 14 matches, including three stalemates in their last five matches.

Reims aren’t free-scoring, but they do have a relatively tight defense, and if they can manage to score here, then the game should be theirs for the taking. We are predicting that Reims will do enough to avoid a defeat by earning either a draw or a victory here.

蒙彼利埃本周日将在莫松球场主场迎战兰斯，法甲也将迎来新一轮的比赛。

蒙彼利埃目前在联赛积分榜上排名第14，整个赛季仅积13分，而他们的客队比他们高出3位，排名第11。现在，蒙彼利埃的表现是法甲最差的球队之一，他们最近六场比赛一场都没赢。他们在上一场比赛中取得了一场平局，但在此之前的5场比赛都以可怕的背靠背输球告终。在同一时期，他们丢了13个球。真是糟糕的表现。蒙彼利埃的防守在联赛中排名第二，目前丢了28个球，仅次于排名垫底的昂热，丢了33个球。他们还没有一个固定的主教练，现在距离降级区还有两分的距离，在这场比赛中他们有很多需要担心的事情。

另一方面，兰斯目前正处于六场不败的状态。他们在这场比赛中积11分，希望延续他们的不败纪录。兰斯队在上一场比赛中以2-1获胜，并将继续保持这种势头。在过去的6场比赛中，他们与小组第一PSG打平，在面对一支不可思议的球队时拿到了一分。

从这场比赛的关键数据来看，兰斯在这场比赛中占据了上风。蒙彼利埃和兰斯之间最近的三次交锋都以平局告终，在此之前的三次交锋都以兰斯的胜利告终。这将引起东道主的关注，并提高客队的士气。兰斯在比赛中也表现出了很好的韧性，他们在比赛中很难进球，他们努力争取到一个平局。本赛季没有一支法甲球队的平局比兰斯多，他们在开局14场比赛中取得了7场平局，包括最近5场比赛中的3场僵局。

兰斯不能自由得分，但他们确实有一个相对严密的防守，如果他们能设法在这里得分，那么比赛应该是他们的。我们预测兰斯将在这里取得平局或胜利来避免失败。
