It is a clash of extremes which nevertheless brings together two clubs which have many common denominators in their recent era.
Montpellier and Lille indeed share the feat of having won a French champion title in the face of Paris Saint-Germain version QSI. It was in 2012 for La Paillade, a year after a title for LOSC, who had postponed it in 2021.
Water has flowed under the bridges, and if Lille has confirmed its status as champion of the championship, Montpellier has slowly sunk into the depths of the ranking, year after year. Red lantern already clinched, Jean-Louis Gasset’s team will have to achieve a feat to upset the Mastiffs who sweep everything in their path by even offering themselves the luxury of playing in the Champions League…
The expected compositions
Montpellier : Lecomte – Tchato, Maksimovic, Sagnan, Sylla – Nzingoula, Chotard, Ferri – Nordin, Khazri, Coulibaly.
Lille : Chevalier – Meunier, Diakité, Alexsandro, Ismaily – Bouaddi, André – Zhegrova, Cabella, Sahraoui – David.
Where to watch the match?
