Team News

Montpellier
Brest
  • Stefan Dzodic was shown a red card against Marseille and will miss out due to suspension.
  • Boubakar Kouyaté, Yanis Issoufou, Mousa Al Tamari, Othmane Maama, and Théo Sainte-Luce are all out of action for Montpellier.
  • Christopher Julien is a long-term absentee.
  • Khalil Fayed could be a doubt after suffering a knock to his leg.
  • Pierre Lees-Melou is back and in goalscoring form.
  • Massadio Haïdara and Luc Zogbé were forced off with concussions last weekend but should be back in action for Eric Roy's side.
  • Eric Roy may keep Abdallah Sima and Romain Del Castillo out of the side in view of a trip to Prague in the Champions League.

Prediction

  • An injury-hit and moral-weakened Montpellier face the fairy-tale Champions League buccaneers in Stade Brestois, who go into the game off the back of yet another victory in Europe, this time against Sparta Prague.
  • Les Pirates need to get back to winning ways in Ligue 1, however, losing last week to an in-form OGC Nice side.
  • Montpellier have lost each of their last 5 Ligue 1 matches, but haven't enjoyed a longer drought in the top flight since February-March 2004 (7).

  • Montpellier have lost 8 of their last 9 matches shipping a hefty 29 goals in that dismal run and may struggle against Brest who beat top half Reims in their last league away game.
