Montpellier needs to buckle up for a tough remainder of the seasonLorient
They are without a win for the past five league matches which took them down to the fifth position in the league rankings. However, they are still in contention for a top-three place which would take them into the Champions League. Of course, there is still a long way to go before the season comes to an end, but Lorient needs to reengage and try to find the form that made them one of the most exciting teams in the league to watch. They will be without their first-choice goalkeeper, Switzerland international Yvon Mvogo who is out until early March, and Vito Mannone should take his place between the goalposts. Terem Moffi has been the team’s discovery of the season, leading the scoring charts with ten goals.
Lorient’s predicted starting lineup: Mannone, Kalulu, Laporte, Talbi, Le Goff, Innocent, Ouattara, Ponceau, Le Fee, Le Bris, Moffi.
Montpellier
It is quite unbelievable how Montpellier’s season fell apart after a positive start. They have four wins this term, but the last one was achieved in the middle of September. There was a streak of five losses, and only a couple of additional points were won. No team in the league needed the World Cup to break more than Montpellier. Romain Pitau took charge in October, but nothing changed when it comes to results. The team’s defense was just horrendous toward the season’s break, and as the losses kept piling on, the team was inching closer to the relegation zone. They are still in danger, but they had a month and a half to figure things out by playing in friendly matches. They lost once and won twice, so maybe that is a sign of how things are changing. The Lorient game will certainly be a big test.
Montpellier’s predicted starting lineup: Omlin, Cozza, Esteve, Jullien, Sacko, Souquet, Leroy, Ferri, Savanier, Wahi, Mavididi.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Player to Watch: Terem Moffi
The 23-year-old Nigerian had his value tripled since joining the team two years ago from Belgian side Kortrijk. He scored ten goals in 14 matches this season and has accumulated 33 in 86 games throughout his Lorient career. He has brought much attention to his ability in scoring goals, and if he continues with the way he played this season, Lorient won’t be able to keep him. But, at least they will be able to earn some money.
