Marseille vs Montpellier: prediction & betting odds 29 January 2022

Stadium: Stade Vélodrome (Marseille, France)
Referee: Benoit Millot

The French Cup Round of 16 match between Marseille and Montpellier will take place on January 29. Who will come out on top in this upcoming clash? Marseille vs. Montpellier: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Betting on the Marseille vs. Montpellier Match

Bookmakers have already issued a prediction for the game, viewing the hosts as clear favorites. A bet on Marseille's victory is available. Meanwhile, backing Montpellier for success is also an option. The odds for a draw in the upcoming match are also provided.

Marseille

Marseille easily navigated the previous two stages of the French Cup, defeating their opponents by a three-goal margin: in the Round of 64, they overcame Cannet Rocheville (4-1), and in the Round of 32, they beat Chauvigny 3-0. It is worth noting that in the previous edition of the tournament, Marseille failed to advance past the Round of 32, surprisingly losing to Canet Roussillon (1-2). Overall, Marseille has won the French Cup 10 times, but their last triumph came back in 1989. However, in 2016, the team reached the tournament final, where they lost to PSG 2-4.

Unavailable players: Ahmadou Bamba Dieng, Pape Gueye (participating in the Africa Cup of Nations), Konrad de la Fuente (injured), Gerson Santos (with the national team).

Montpellier

The club also began from the Round of 64 and successfully advanced past Andrezieux and Strasbourg, winning both matches with a score of 1-0. In the previous edition of the tournament, Montpellier performed much better than their upcoming opponents, reaching the semi-finals, where they narrowly lost to eventual winners PSG in a penalty shootout (2-2, 5-6 on penalties). The team has won the French Cup twice, with their last victory in 1990.

Unavailable players: Maxime Estève, Pedro Mendes, Valère Germain, Thibault Tamas (injured), Jordan Ferri, Téji Savanier, Stephy Mavididi (suspended), Ambroise Oyongo (participating in the Africa Cup of Nations).

Interesting Betting Trends

  • At least 3 goals have been scored in 5 of Marseille's last 7 French Cup matches. The odds for "Total over 2.5" are available.
  • Marseille has scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their previous 7 French Cup encounters. A bet on "Marseille Individual Total Over 1.5" is an option.
  • Montpellier has not lost in their last 10 French Cup matches (8 wins, 2 draws). This outcome is also provided.

Marseille vs. Montpellier: Match Prediction and Bet

Marseille has not won trophies for quite some time, so they will not treat the French Cup as a secondary tournament. Montpellier, being a mid-table team in the league, has a chance to win a title mainly in cup competitions. They almost achieved this last season when they were close to reaching the French Cup final. I would have suggested betting on the visitors with a positive handicap in the upcoming match, if not for the absence of several key players due to suspensions. I think the absence of three main midfielders – Téji Savanier, Jordan Ferri, and Stephy Mavididi – will be noticeable. Moreover, Marseille is solid in defense, being the best team in Ligue 1 this season in this aspect (16 goals conceded). I believe Montpellier will not score more than once against their opponents.

Therefore, my match prediction is a bet on "Montpellier Individual Total Under 1".
