Team News

Nantes
Montpellier
  • Randal Kolo Muani and Kalifa Coulibaly had both missed training sessions this week, but Antoine Kombouaré expects the pair to be available for this crucial match.
  • Abdoulaye Touré is a doubt with a knock as well; look for Pedro Chirivella and Imran Louza to start in midfield.
  • Jonas Omlin and Pedro Mendes remain unavailable for the hosts, while Florent Mollet misses out after being sent off against Brest last weekend.
  • Téji Savanier is also suspended, for an accumulation of bookings.
  • With Jordan Ferri also unavailable, the visitors' midfield could have a makeshift air about it.

Prediction

  • Montpellier remain potent in any match with Laborde and Delort in the fold, but with so many absences in midfield, it's hard to see La Paillade getting anything from this encounter.
  • Provided Kolo Muani and Coulibaly do start, Nantes should have enough about them to continue their good form and avoid the relegation playoff spot with a win here.
