Prediction: 2-0
Montpellier
Buoyed by a routine 3-1 win over Le Havre, Monaco will look to overtake PSG in top position in the standings when they take on Montpellier on Matchday 6. Les Rouges et Blancs are eyeing their third consecutive league win, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Talented forward Eliesse Ben Seghir is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while both Edan Diop and Radoslaw Majecki remain on the sidelines with injuries.
La Paillade, on the other hand, have suffered three defeats in the previous four league matches and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. The likes of Mousa Tamari, Issiaga Sylla, Joris Chotard, Othmane Maamma, and Theo Sainte-Luce remain in the recovery room, while teenage forward Yanis Issoufou is rated doubtful for the match.
Highlighted Player (Breel Embolo):
Born in Younde, Cameroon on February 14, 1997, Breel Embolo is a striker who plays for Bundesliga side Schalke 04. Embolo began his youth career at Nordstern back in 2008, but two years later he moved to Old Boys.
In 2010 the Switzerland international joined Basel and he continued playing for the RotBlau at senior level. After scoring 21 goals in 61 appearances for the club in the Swiss Super League, Breel Embolo signed a five-year deal with Schalke 04 in June, 2016 for a fee of €20 million.
The Schalke striker made his Bundesliga debut on August 27 in a 1-0 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt. Speaking of his international career, Breel Embolo has four caps for Switzerland U21 team and he made his senior debut on March 31, 2015 in a 1-1 draw with United States of America. Embolo is very powerful striker, he is technically strong, he has explosive pace and a composed finisher.
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.
