Team News

Montpellier
Strasbourg
  • After an ugly loss to Marseille, look for changes from the hosts.
  • With Christopher Jullien and Becir Omeragic still doubts, Théo Saint-Luce is also an option in defence.
  • Wahbi Khazri was surprisingly dropped last weekend and his status remains uncertain.
  • Despite a loss to Lyon in the Coupe de France in the week, Strasbourg performed well, and Patrick Vieira should keep faith with that system.
  • He notably moved to a back three in that match, and could do the same here, with Ismäel Doukouré slotting into a hybrid role.
  • Abakar Sylla remains a doubt for the visitors.
  • Look for Habib Diarra to start ahead of Ângelo Gabriel after impressing off the bench in the week.

Prediction

  • Both of these sides are in desperate need of a win -- Racing haven't won since December, and while Montpellier beat Metz a fortnight ago, they are also looking over their shoulders.
  • After an embarrassing lost against Brest, Strasbourg showed more solidity against Lyon in the week and will look to build on that.
