Team News

Montpellier
  • The ever impressive Montpellier should retain the same starting XI.
  • Dernis is still out, so either Camara will continue or Remy Cabella could come in. Marco Estrada should replace the suspended Joris Marveaux.
  • Nenad Dzodic retired this week due to constant injuries.
Nancy
  • Bakary Traore could return after recovering from malaria.
  • Benjamin Moukandjo will not play as he's suspended.
  • Goalkeeper Guy Ndy Assembe is fit and could return in goal.
  • Salif Sane is out indefinitely with a knee injury.

Prediction

  • Montpellier's surprise tag continues to follow them round, but how long do they have to stay at the top of the table before it's no longer a surprise? They should be clear favourites to pick up points against Nancy.
  • These two sides have met ten times at the Stade de la Mosson. La Pallide have won four times, with ASNL picking up two victories. Surprisingly you have to go back to 2000 for the home side's last win.
  • WHOSCORED.COM Predicts: Montpellier win 3-1
