When will Montpellier’s bad patch stop? Used to places of honour and for a long time fighting for European places alongside the champions of the championship this season again, the Hérault club is now 11th and has not won for 7 matches. His last success was on December 12, on the lawn of RC Lens (3-2), which will be, luckily enough, his future opponent this Saturday!
