Match Preview
Dunkerque will host Montpellier at the Stade Marcel-Tribut on Saturday, 18 October, in a crucial Ligue 2 clash. Both teams come into this match with mixed form, with Dunkerque recording one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five outings, while Montpellier has managed just one win alongside four losses. This inconsistency leaves both sides vulnerable, but Dunkerque will be looking to leverage home advantage to secure a vital three points.
A notable aspect of this fixture is the historical head-to-head record, which heavily favours Montpellier, who have won only once in their last ten encounters against Dunkerque. Furthermore, none of these matches have seen both teams score, indicating a trend of tight contests. With both teams struggling to find their rhythm, this match could hinge on defensive solidity. Given the lack of goals in previous meetings, a low-scoring affair seems likely, making it essential for both sides to find a breakthrough early on to set the tone for the match.
