Lille, Recent FormPaulo Fonseca will have some work to do building up his players after their 4-1 away thrashing at the hands of Lorient. Their share of possession in that meeting was 65%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to Lorient, who had 9 shots on goal with 6 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Fonseca will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 6 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 17 games.
On an individual basis, Jonathan David will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Lille's last 6 league games.
Montpellier, Recent FormThe Montpellier players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Reims recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. In that game they recorded 51 % of the possession, with 19 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 6 of their 12 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 15 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 19 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a good run of form away from home recently, with 3 straight wins in a row.
With 5 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Montpellier, Arnaud Nordin will be looking to add more goals against Lille in this match.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 2-1 win for Lille.
Lille will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 7 encounters with La Paillade.
Lille will be looking to continue their winning streak against Montpellier, having won each of the last 4 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 10 meetings.
Jonathan David will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Lille against Montpellier in this one, having netted 4 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
With only Tiago Djaló (Cruciate ligament) and Adam Ounas (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Paulo Fonseca will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Montpellier manager Michel Der Zakarian ahead of this clash, with Théo Sainte-Luce (Thigh) missing out, which gives Der Zakarian a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
