Team News

Lille
Montpellier
  • New signing Ivo Grbic looks to have usurped Léo Jardim as the hosts' first-choice goalkeeper.
  • Xeka is fit again and the Portuguese should partner Benjamin André in central midfield.
  • Zeki Çelik remains heavily linked with a move away and could be left on the bench again.
  • Tim Weah seems to have gained Jocelyn Gourvennec's favour on the right flank and the American could start there once more.
  • Montpellier under Michel der Zakarian weren't known for rotating their players, and the same is likely to be true here on the back of a compelling performance last Sunday.
  • Savanier could also be played in a more advanced role, with one of Joris Chotard or Léo Leroy partnering Ferri in midfield.

Prediction

  • Montpellier won comfortably against a Lorient side that finished with nine men, but should find Lille a rather more challenging proposition.
  • Lille, whose title success was built on defensive solidity, are yet to keep a clean sheet this season and could find that no easier to do here against a team that have only been outscored by PSG through three matches.
