RC Lens make the trip to Stade de la Mosson on Friday for their Ligue 1 meeting with Montpellier. Here is an update on the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
Montpellier, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 1-2 Ligue 1 triumph against Toulouse. It’s our opinion that La Paillade could use the 3-5-2 formation in the match with Benjamin Lecomte, Modibo Sagnan, Boubakar Kouyaté, Becir Omeragic, Enzo Tchato, Rabby Nzingoula, Teji Savanier, Joris Chotard, Issiaga Sylla, Mousa Tamari and Wahbi Khazri.
Lucas Mincarelli, Glenn Ngosso and Nikola Maksimović are not available for Montpellier gaffer Jean-Louis Gasset.
Possible Montpellier team vs RC Lens
RC Lens go into this match following on from a 1-0 Ligue 1 win vs Angers SCO in their most recent fixture. We believe Les Artésiens could decide to play in a 3-5-2 lineup using Mathew Ryan, Jonathan Gradit, Malang Sarr, Facundo Medina, P. Frankowski, Florian Sotoca, Neil El Aynaoui, Adrien Thomasson, Angelo Fulgini, M'Bala Nzola and Goduine Koyalipou.
Lens manager Will Still has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Denis Petric (Back injury), Jhoanner Chávez (ankle sprain), Martín Satriano (Cruciate ligament tear) and Rémy Labeau Lascary (Cruciate ligament tear) are those who can’t be considered.
