Prediction: 2-1
Montpellier
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Angers, Brest will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they face Montpellier at Stade Francis-Le Ble on Matchday 4. Brest are high on spirits ahead of Sunday’s clash, and they are surely capable of matching La Paillade, who failed to impress in their last league match. All Romain Del Castillo, Noah Fadiga, and Steve Mounie are sidelined with injuries, while there are no suspended players in the home team.
Montpellier, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to PSG and Auxerre, but given their shaky defence, we predict that Les Pirates are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s clash. To make things even worse for the visiting side, both Khalil Fayad and Teji Savanier are banned for the match, while Pedro Mendes, Stephy Mavididi, and Sacha Delaye miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Steve Mounié):
Steve Mounie is a Beninese footballer who plays for Huddersfield Town as a striker. Mounie is a product of Montpellier youth academy and, as a result, he was given a chance to prove his worth in the blue and orange shirt in Ligue 1 at senior level.
After scoring 14 goals in 37 appearances for la Paillade in the French elite division, the 190-cm-tall attacker moved to Huddersfield Town in 2017, but it has to be noted that he spent the 2015/2016 season at Nimes as a loan player. Steve Mounie signed a four-year deal with the Terriers and he made his competitive debut for the club on August 12, 2017, scoring a brace in a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace.
The attacker who was born in Parakou (Benin) on September 29, 1994 will represent the Benin national team at the 2019 Africa Cup of nations. Mounie scored his first ever goal for the national team in a 2-1 win over South Sudan in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Highlighted Team (Montpellier):
Over the years Montpellier have established themselves as a mid-table side in French Ligue 1. Montpellier are considered one of the youngest clubs in France as they were founded in 1974, but it has to be noted that a number of high-profile footballers played for the club in the past. French football legend Laurent Blanc played for Montpellier from 1981-1993 and he scored 76 goals in 24 appearances in the league for the club. Eric Cantona, Roger Milla, Carlos Valderama and Olivier Giroud played in Montpellier’s colors as well, but Pascal Baills is the player with most appearances for the club (429).
La Paillade did remarkably well to win the Ligue 1 trophy in 2012 and that is considered the club’s biggest success. Montpellier won Coupe de France on two occasions (1929, 1990), with the team beating FC Sete and FC Paris respectively in the title games. The team welcome their rivals at Stade de la Mosson and the capacity of the stadium is 32.900. In 1999 Montpellier won the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
