Ligue 1 2024-2025: Montpellier-Monaco, the likely formations

Montpellier-Monaco, the probable formations
In 2012, Montpellier won its first and only league title, but thirteen years later the situation è quite different. The Gasset-coached team is struggling to avoid relegation, with only 9 points in 17 games and 12 defeats. The last success was on Nov. 10 and since then, no victory has come, even suffering a resounding 4-0 loss in the French Cup against a fourth-division team.
The team is desperate for a turnaround, but the challenge against Monaco, third in the standings, promises to be difficult and important for the continuation of the season. Montpellier will line up with a 3-4-2-1, with Savanier and Al Ta’mari to create play in midfield, while Adams will be the offensive reference, with Gasset looking for a reaction after a difficult start.
Monaco, on the other hand, is making a good run in the Champions League with 10 points in 10 games, while in the league it has the goal of maintaining its third position and fighting for the top spots. The team coached by
Hütter wants to consolidate its place in the upper zones of Ligue 1 and get closer and closer to Europe.
However, it is going through a difficult period in the league, with only two points in three games and a Super Cup lost to PSG. Despite these difficulties, the team has the potential to return to winning ways and try to get closer to Marseille and PSG. Monaco will respond with the same form, with Köhn in goal, 3-man defense with Singo, Kehrer and Salisu, while Bouabré and Ben Seghir will support Embolo in attack.
Probable lineups
Montpellier (3-4-2-1): Lecomte; Maksimovic, Omeragic, Sagnan; Tchato, Ferri, Nzingoula, Sylla; Al Ta’mari, Savanier; Adams. Coach: Gasset.
Monaco (3-4-2-1): Köhn; Singo, Kehrer, Salisu; Vanderson, Camara, Zakaria, Ouattara; Bouabré, Ben Seghir; Embolo. Coach: Hütter.
