Team News

Lille
Montpellier
  • Alexsandro should come back into the eleven after returning from suspension.
  • New signing Nabil Bentaleb should be in the squad, but is unlikely to be included from the off.
  • Samuel Umtiti is fit enough for a place on the bench, but won't start.
  • With Carlos Baleba having departed, look for Angel Gomes to play a deeper role alongside Benjamin André.
  • Mohamed Bayo could join Le Havre on loan and won't be included in the hosts' squad.
  • Montpellier could shake things up after a humbling defeat to Reims last weekend.
  • Veterans Wahbi Khazri and Mamadou Sakho could figure in Michel der Zakarian's reckoning.

Prediction

  • Lille put out a full strength side to progress in Europe this week, but should have enough left in the tank for a win at home, where they have been at their under Paulo Fonseca.
  • Montpellier are a dangerous outfit on the counter, but their issues in defence mean that a driven Lille are likely to have the upper hand here.
