Montpellier is facing a challenging situation as they travel to Valenciennes for the 13th day of Ligue 1. The team, currently 16th in the standings with 13 points, is slipping dangerously in the rankings after earning just one point in three matches. The 2012 French champion is determined to achieve a positive result against Valenciennes. To boost their chances, defensive midfielder Jamel Saihi, who was sidelined with an injury last week, will be back in the squad.
Saihi stressed the importance of securing three points and acknowledged the tough competition they face. Valenciennes is also a team in difficulty, and both sides are eager for a victory. The Tunisian international emphasized the need for concentration, self-sacrifice, and determination to overcome the challenges. With Valenciennes undergoing a coaching change, Montpellier is well aware of the fight they are entering but is committed to giving their all for a positive outcome.
