Lille OSC host Montpellier HSC at Stade Pierre-Mauroy with one eye firmly held on their upcoming Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund. The tie remains in the balance following their hard-fought draw (1-1) in Germany.
With this in mind, we can expect Bruno Génésio to field a rotated side for the visit of the league’s worst placed team. However, L’Équipe suspects that Jonathan David and Hákon Arnar Haraldsson will start. LOSC could be looking to avoid their habit this season of dropping points against lower ranked teams.
There was some good news for Génésio as Gabriel Gudmundsson is back from the infirmary this week. However, Ethan Mbappé picked up an injury following the Dortmund game and will be unavailable for selection alongside Edon Zhegrova, Tiago Santos, Osame Sahraoui, and Samuel Umtiti.
Lille likely lineup vs Montpellier
Lucas Chevalier; Gabriel Gudmundsson, Alexsandro, Bafodé Diakité, Aïssa Mandi; Nabil Bentaleb, Benjamin André; Mitchel Bakker, Hákon Arnar Haraldsson, Matias Fernandez Pardo; Jonathan David. (L’Éq)
