Team News

Lille
Montpellier
  • Despite a frustrating defeat to Angers last weekend, don't look for many changes from the hosts.
  • Edon Zhegrova remains a doubt, as does Adam Ounas. Look for the versatile Jonathan Bamba to play on the right flank.
  • Montpellier will have been disappointed to have lost at home to Toulouse last weekend, but Michel der Zakarian is unlikely to make wholesale changes here.
  • Léo Leroy is also an option in defensive midfield.
  • Mamadou Sakho was forced off due to cramps last weekend, but should be available for this fixture.

Prediction

  • Neither of these sides shies away from playing attacking football. This is likely to be one of the weekend's more entertaining matches.
  • Lille should just about shade this as they look to solidify their hold on fifth place on the back of what they'll no doubt view as a massive missed opportunity last weekend.
