In recent weeks, Montpellier have been on a roll with their performances in the French top-flight league, particularly in the context of Ligue 1's hot form. The team has managed to score two goals in their last three games and have gained some momentum after impressive victories against Nice and Paris Saint-Germain.
One of the standout moments for the Montpelliore side was a 2-1 victory over Nice on Sunday. Despite a poor start to the season, Montpellier were able to find their rhythm and score twice in the first half. They then went on a run of five straight goals, scoring four times in total, including a brace from Alphonse Mucha.
The goal-scoring performance by Montpellier was particularly noteworthy as they had notched two goals in any of their previous nine games in Ligue 1. This is indicative of how well the team is performing under coach Jean-Michel Aulas' leadership, who has brought in a number of talented young players this season.
However, it should be noted that Montpellier's success comes at the expense of rivals Rennes. The Blues have struggled recently, losing six out of seven matches, which has left them in sixth place in the table. However, the win over Nice could provide a boost for Rennes, as they will likely need to bounce back quickly against Montpellier in order to maintain their hot form.
Overall, Montpellier's performance in Ligue 1 has been commendable, especially considering the challenges they have faced during the season. With a strong front line and experienced players, the team has the potential to continue their hot streak and potentially secure a spot in the Champions League next season.
