Lille OSC will play against Montpellier HSC at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. They are also thinking about their important Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund. The score is tied after a 1-1 draw in Germany.
Because of this important upcoming game, coach Bruno Génésio is expected to use some different players for the Montpellier match. However, sources believe that Jonathan David and Hákon Arnar Haraldsson will be in the starting lineup. Lille wants to make sure they don’t lose points against weaker teams, which has been a problem for them this season.
There’s good news for Lille as Gabriel Gudmundsson is back from injury. But Ethan Mbappé got injured after the Dortmund game and will not be available. Edon Zhegrova, Tiago Santos, Osame Sahraoui, and Samuel Umtiti are also still unavailable.
Likely Lille Starting XI 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.
