France: Montpellier close Round 16 with a win in derby vs. Sète and fly to the top!

Predictions respected in a game that closed 2024/25 Marmara Spike League Round 16, with Montpellier who won derby on the field of Sète with the score of 1-3 (21:25, 25:21, 20:25, 21:25).
A result that is worth first place in the standings with the same number of points of Tourcoing, 33, who suffered a heavy defeat on the field of Paris on Saturday.
To make the difference, a great performance in blocking for the winners, who scored as many as 19 points (7 only from setter Raphael Corre) from this element compared to the hosts’ 10, while Tomas Lopez and Ezequiel Palacios led the charge with 15 points each, closely followed by Veikka Lindqvist and Nicolas Le Goff, who added 13 and 12, respectively.
15 points also for Daenan Gyimah for Sète, who won second set and then succumbed to the rivals’ play.
