Montpellier
Nice
- Hilton was given several weeks to recover from a thigh injury and is expected to return to the starting XI when Nice come to visit on Sunday afternoon.
- Having no other injury concerns to deal with, Frédéric Hantz may only make one alteration to the squad this weekend and bring his captain back into the side if available.
- Lucien Favre will need to rotate at the Stade de la Mosson having already named the same side twice against Marseille and Schalke 04 this week.
- Mario Balotelli could use some rest after playing the entirety of both matches, while some fresh legs might also be needed in midfield in the form of Rémi Walter and Mathieu Bodmer.
- Valentin Eysseric, who was suspended in midweek, and Arnaud Lusamba will both hope for starts, while Younès Belhanda will feature against Montpellier - where he lifted the Ligue 1 title in 2012 - but perhaps not from the off.
