After spending several years in Ligue 2, observers imagined at the start of the season that Lens could have struggled to raise his level and Racing would probably have to play maintenance. The least that can be said is that at the moment, Blood and Gold are twisting their necks at the predictions. Indeed, with 21 points on the clock, they are in 8th place in the standings with a very comfortable lead of 11 points over the red zone. Victorious from Dijon (0-1), Franck Haise’s men then shared the points with Nants (1-1) and then were quite logically dominated by Angers (1-3). On the other hand, on Saturday, they went for a good success against Rennes (0-2) without ever being really endangered.
For its part, Montpellier is one of the sure values of this championship. Often able to make offensive moves, the Héraultians find themselves quite legitimately in the first third of the standings, in 6th place, with three points behind on the podium. Conquerors lately with 4 successes against Saint-Etienne (0-1), Bordeaux (0-2), Strasbourg (4-3) and Lorient (0-1), Michel Der Zakarian’s players have been stopped by the PSG (1-3) last Saturday despite a very correct performance.
The staff for Lens vs Montpellier
In Lens, the Traoré winger and the unused midfielder this season Boli are the only players who cannot be present for this appointment due to injuries. On the other hand, the starting winger Gradit and the young midfielder Doucouré will have to serve their suspension and will therefore not be present. Against Rennes, the young Ganago scored his 5th goal of the season while the striker on loan from PSG Kalimuendo confirmed his good dispositions (3 goals in 6 appearances).
Deprived of his top scorer against PSG last Saturday due to a positive test at Covid, Montpellier could recover Andy Delort (6 goals) who missed a lot for his team last weekend. On top of that, the Chotard midfield is still recovering. On the other hand, strikers Laborde, Mavididi and Yun are just as good as Savanier.
Probable compositions for Lens vs Montpellier:
Lens: Leca – Clauss, Badé, Haïdara – Clauss, Cahuzac, Fofana, Sylla – Kakuta – Sotoca, Ganago.
Montpellier: Omlin – Zambia, Pedro Mendes, Congré, Ristic – Savanier, Ferri, Mollet – Mavididi, Laborde, Yun.
