Strasbourg Montpellier match preview

The next 27th round of French Ligue 1 will be opened on Friday night by two teams from the middle of the table, with the proviso that the 14th Strasbourg currently has eight points less than the sixth Montpellier. In addition, the visiting team is currently in a slightly better form, while we should also add that their autumn duel ended with 1-1.

Strasbourg

Otherwise, it was their first offense after eight years when they were playing together in the second rank of French football, but now Strasbourg is back in the elite rank and they will try to make the fourth consecutive win over Montpellier on their field on Friday night. Otherwise, this returnee in Ligue 1 has been playing much better at home since the start of the season, so they celebrated with 2-1 over Troyes in their last match at home.

They played in the quarterfinals of the French Cup after a victory of 3-0 over Grenoble by the end of the season, after two games in a row last weekend with a defeat of 5-2 in the championship match with the leading PSG. But some of them hoped they could do something more seriously at Prince's Park, but now they certainly have great expectations from their duel with Montpellier, where they will not be able to count on the injured defenders Mangane and Ndour, midfielder Corgnet and striker Terrier.

Probable lineups RC Strasbourg: Oukidja – Foulquier, Kone, Martinez, Seka – Lala, Aholou, Martin, Lienard – da Costa, Bahoken

Montpellier

As for the guests from Montpellier, we have already said in the introduction that they are waiting for this first match against Strasbourg from the top sixth place on the table, with the proviso that they are 11 points away from the positions that lead to European competitions. But it is much more important for them that they are 12 points away from the relegation zone so they can be fully relaxed in this final part of the season in Ligue 1, especially after they were recently eliminated from both French Cups.

However, they were playing much better in the championship, so they in the last three rounds made two wins, at home over Angers and away against Metz, while they last weekend against Guingamp played 1-1. Otherwise, this team has one of the best defences in the league, as they have only received 21 goals so far, while the experienced striker Mendes returns after the suspension. Unlike him, defenders Roussillon and Oyongo are still out of action due to injuries, as well as midfielder Sanson and Piriz.

Probable lineups HSC Montpellier: Lecomte – Mukiele, Mendes, Hilton, Congre, Aguilar – Sambia, Lasne, Skhiri – Mbenza, Sio

Verdict:

Even though the guests from Montpellier are currently in a better shape and have eight points advantage, we also have to know that Strasbourg is much better at home than on the side and therefore we decided to give them a slight advantage this time.
