Gerson struck first for Olympique Marseille in the 29th minute on a feed from Dimitri Payet, then Romain Faivre tied it up for Brest in the 53rd minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 70th minute on a goal by Franck Honorat. Brest should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches, while montpellier is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Clermont. Sepe Elye Wahi struck first for Montpellier in the 28th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Clermont was frustrated by Montpellier’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Montpellier ended the match with the shutout victory. Montpellier is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 2 draws apiece.
Montpellier’s top weapon lately has been Sepe Elye Wahi, who has 2 goals in the last five matches. Brest is fortunate enough to have Romain Faivre in top form. In the last 5 matches the midfielder has scored four goals
Michel Der Zakarian’s Brest squad will be without Paul Lasne, Denys Bain and Brendan Chardonnet, while Pedro Mendes and Esteve are unavailable to play for Olivier Dall’Oglio’s team.
