Montpellier, Recent FormMontpellier will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 away win against Reims. Their share of possession in that meeting was 47%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Reims, who had 22 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Manager Michel Der Zakarian will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 9 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 11 games in a row, and when playing at home this season, they've notched up 7 clean sheets in 15 games.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way. They've had an unusually high number of draws when playing at home this season, with 8 draws in 15 home league games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Montpellier, Téji Savanier will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Nantes, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 3-0 home defeat by Rennes, Nantes manager Antoine Kombouaré will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. They came away from that fixture with a 44% share of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Rennes, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
Kombouaré will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 5 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Nantes, Mostafa Mohamed will be looking to add more goals against Montpellier in this match.
Nantes recorded a 2-0 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Playing away from home, Nantes have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Montpellier.
Montpellier manager Michel Der Zakarian has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Khalil Fayad (Back), Théo Sainte-Luce (Thigh) and Mousa Tamari (Back) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With both Ignatius Ganago (Cruciate ligament) and Moses Simon (Broken foot) being out for the rest of the season and Tino Kadewere (Calf) and Bastien Meupiyou (Knee) unavailable in the shorter term, Nantes manager Antoine Kombouaré will be relieved to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
