Team News

Montpellier
Lille
  • The hosts can count on the returns of Junior Sambia and Téji Savanier from suspension.
  • Ambroise Oyongo has returned from AFCON and could be an option at left-back.
  • Jonas Omlin and Nicolas Cozza should shake off knocks that forced them off last weekend.
  • Timothy Weah is fit again having returned from international duty.
  • Renato Sanches has been ruled out here.
  • If Burak Yilmaz isn't fit, look for Hatem Ben Arfa to start again in attack.

Prediction

  • Montpellier, without Savanier, were shocked by strugglers Sainté at the weekend, but the return of Savanier should give them the mojo necessary for a result.
  • Lille were abject in defeat at home to PSG last weekend, and one has to wonder to what level the champions' confidence has sunk following a January laced with uncertainty in the mercato.
