This might be the match of the season for Montpellier, and the match that has to be done on their way home for the big feast for the Corsicans. They tried to postpone the game, which Montpellier refused, naturally, because their first league status is hanging by the thread. The guests' coach says they're empty mentally and physically, no surprise there after their first trophy ever. Simovski will be spared, as will Miranda, their two key players offensively, and perhaps some of the other players, too. Nobody's talking about Montpellier, Ferrandez said before the Cup final that they have to beat Beauvais and Nantes (which they had), and then they're calm in Montpellier, and we shouldn't forget they're playing Chaumont at home on Friday. Montpellier aren't that bad, they did spend most of the championship in the upper half of the table, and had some nice results at home. They were getting ready for this game for 10 days, and their rivals' schedule is working in their favor (Beauvais and Lyon). They haev to win tonight. They've got the defensive weapons for Ajaccio, they've beaten them 3-1 in an away match when Ajaccio were in a great form and with their full lineup. The difference in motivation is huge, the guests are tired and their thoughts are elsewhere so I expect Montpellier to take advantage of that.
