Akor Adams will look to end his nine-game goal drought when Montpellier hosts Angers in a vital Ligue 1 matchup on Sunday.
The striker, who has scored three goals and assisted two in 14 league appearances, has not found the back of the net since September 22, 2024, in a 3-2 victory over AJ Auxerre.
There is a chance that La Paillade could be an interesting offensive prospect in this encounter if Adams can recreate his rich vein of goalscoring form that he showed at the beginning of last season along with Musa Al-Taamari.
Montpellier’s winless run has extended to six games across all competitions, and their 16-year stay in Ligue 1 is at risk as Montpellier approaches the mid-season mark in Ligue 1 with a record that starkly indicates the possibility of relegation in their milestone 50th season.
The club sits bottom of the standings with just nine points.
They are seven points adrift of safety, while Angers, currently in 14th place, will aim for consecutive victories to boost their survival hopes.
Despite their struggles this season, Montpellier will be buoyed by the fact that all of their points have come at home, while Angers heads into the match on a three-game losing streak at the Stade de la Mosson.
The home crowd will hope their side can break the trend and secure a much-needed win.
