Paris Saint Germain v Lille OSC - Ligue 1 Uber Eats — Montpellier and Toulouse lock horns in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Montpellier and Toulouse go head-to-head at the Stade de la Mosson in round 30 of Ligue 1 on Sunday (April 9). The two sides are separated by just two points in the league table and we anticipate a thrilling bottom-half clash ensuing in this one.

Montpellier showed resilience at the Orange Velodrome in midweek, holding third-placed Olympique Marseille to a 1-1 draw. Michel Der Zakarian’s side have now gone seven games without defeat, winning five and drawing twice since a 2-0 loss to Strasbourg on February 5. With 37 points from 29 games, Montpellier are 11th in Ligue 1, level on points with 12th-placed Clermont Foot.

Toulouse, meanwhile, edged closer to the Coupe de France title with a 2-1 win over Annecy FC on Thursday to reach the final. While Le Tefece have had a sensational cup run, they have struggled in Ligue 1 recently.

Toulouse, who are 13th in the standings, have lost five of their last six outings, with a 2-0 win at Angers on March 12 being the exception.
