Marseille Vs. Montpellier: 0-0 Halftime, But Not Dull

At halftime, Marseille and Montpellier are locked up in a 0-0 draw that has been surprisingly watchable, despite a lack of clear cut chance. This is also the description that can be used for basically every Ligue 1 game in the history of ever. Marseille and Montpellier are both working hard and passing well, but both teams are defending well and keeping their shape, limiting the number of total chances in the match.

Montpellier will be wanting the match to stay just the way it is, but unfortunately for them, Marseille have a loaded bench. Andre Ayew is almost certain to figure at some point. However, Marseille don’t have much in the way of attack minded substitutes available in the center of midfield, so Lucho Gonzalez is simply going to need to up his game.

Could Didier Deschamps go absolutely pants-on-head crazy and drop Mathieu Valbuena into the midfield, behind Andre-Pierre Gignac, Loic Remy, and Ayew? No, there’s actually no way that will happen, but I can dream, can’t I?
