Team News

Monaco
Montpellier
  • Youssouf Fofana's return from suspension will see him slot back into midfield.
  • Vanderson is fit again, having featured against PSG.
  • Save the return of Fofana, it should be as you were for the hosts, despite suffering a heavy loss in the capital last Friday.
  • Joris Chotard is back from suspension and should start in midfield.
  • Issiaga Sylla is edging closer to a return but is unlikely to be included from the off.
  • Léo Leroy was fit enough for the bench and could also be an option in midfield.

Prediction

  • Despite sometimes looking ropey in defence this season, Monaco's attacking gifts have never been in doubt, and they should comfortably get past a Montpellier side playing on short rest.
  • La Paillade earned a gritty draw in the week, but a raft of absences in defence is unlikely to help their cause here.
