Team News

Saint-Etienne
Montpellier
  • Augustine Boakye made his return to action for Sainté off the bench last weekend.
  • Anthony Briançon has undergone a minor knee procedure.
  • Recovery is progressing well for Yvann Maçon, Thomas Monconduit, and Pierre Cornud.
  • All three could be in contention against Lyon.
  • Stefan Dzodic was shown a red card against Marseille and will miss out due to suspension.
  • Boubakar Kouyaté, Yanis Issoufou, Mousa Al Tamari, Othmane Maama, and Théo Sainte-Luce are all out of action for Montpellier.
  • Christopher Julien is a long-term absentee.
  • Khalil Fayed could be a doubt after suffering a knock to his leg.

Prediction

  • It could be a relegation six-pointer at the bottom of the table, as Montpellier could claw back a vital three points to go level with Saint-Étienne in case of an away win.
  • For Les Verts, it's a golden opportunity to put some breathing space between themselves and the automatic relegation spots, and potentially, to get ahead of two fellow strugglers in Angers and Nantes, depending on the weekend's results.
  • On home soil at Stade Geoffroy Guichard, you would fancy Sainté to get the three points, despite some improvement by Montpellier in recent weeks and their first win of the season against Brest.
