Montpellier – the shape of the team and its analysis: it was possible to gain momentum in the spring
“The Paladins”, who have never come close to repeating their only championship in 2012, remain the “middle of the pack” in French football up to nowadays. Still, they show excellent shape in the spring. A 2-6 score in the confrontation with PSG is the only defeat in 7 matches, and the 4 previous matches brought 10 points. For all previous time, 25 were taken.
Nantes – the shape of the team and its analysis: away successes allow the club to feel quite comfortable

Speaking about the away games, they were beaten only by unstable Marseille, and gained an invaluable number of 13 points in other 5 away rounds.
