Team News

Strasbourg
Montpellier
  • Karol Fila's season is likely over after the defender underwent cruciate surgery over the break.
  • Save Fila, with Eduard Sobol and Moïse Sahi Dion both fit, Patrick Vieira has a full complement of players.
  • Strasbourg played with a 4-3-3 in a friendly over the break, and there's also some suggestion Vieria could plump for that formation here.
  • Despite losing narrowly to Lille before the break, Montpellier have impressed to start the season, and are unlikely to make any changes here.
  • Summer signing Becir Omeragic made his full debut in defence and should keep his place.

Prediction

  • Strasbourg have been somewhat of a Jekyll and Hyde team -- impressive at home but less so on the road; look for them to get back to winning ways against La Paillade.
  • Montpellier continue to cement their reputation as one of the league's most exciting teams, but that's a two-way street, as their attacking prowess has also seen more than their fair share of wobbles in defence.
