Montpellier reçoit Metz, ce dimanche 18 février, au stade de la Mosson dans le cadre de la 22e journée de Ligue 1, à 15 h.

The red alert has been triggered, the sacred union declared, we will have to translate all his fine speeches into a performance on the field because since his last match against Metz on December 17 (0-1), Montpellier has not won again in Ligue 1.

Five matches without a victory, a severe elimination in the Coupe de France at home, times are tough for the MHSC. They are just as much for Metz who remains in 8 matches without victories as well. This match therefore looks like a last chance at redemption for two clubs which are plunging in the rankings: Montpellier is in the barrage (16th) at kick-off, Metz is 17th and first direct relegation.

For this meeting and to redress the situation, Michel Der Zakarian will rely on an attack which will find Tamari, who will be associated with Nordin who has returned since last week. ;They will carry the hopes of an attack at half mast this season: 21 goals in 21 matches, 4th worst attack in the championship.
