Montpellier And Lens do not swim in the same waters in Ligue 1, but for the first time since last summer, the Hérault club has seen the hope of ensuring its place in the elite. Long won in the ranking, the MHSC left its place as a red lantern in Le Havre after having signed two consecutive and stunning successes, facing Monaco then Toulouse, each time on the same score (2-1). With the reinforcement of Andy Delort, the hope has returned.
“” Playing first managed us a fortnight ago, against a Monaco team who still had the head at the Champions League. Against Lens, it will be different, warns Jean-Louis Gasset. They have other problems, like us. They sold one of their central (Khusanov), their second (DANS) has solicitations. A month and a half ago, we were there, we made a correct match, with situations to equalize. We had taken a gag goal on a stopped kick, at the last second. The score was heavy compared to the match seen … ». A wind of revenge will blow. The decor is planted.
The expected compositions:
Montpellier : Lecomte-Thato, Kouyaté, Sagnan, Sainte-Luce-Nzingoula, Omeragic, Chotard-Savanier-Al Tamari, Delort.
Lens : Ryan – Gradit, Sarr, Medina – Frankowski, Thomasson, El Aynaoui, Diouf, Machado – Nzola, Koyalipou.
