St Etienne v Montpellier Team News

St Etienne, sitting fourth in the Ligue 1 table standings while also playing at home are going into this match hoping to secure a win and keep their spot if not move up the ranks. The team is currently competing in the Europa league having ended the last season at that same spot. They are therefore playing this season with hopes of progress as they seek to compete in Europe’s top tier competition next season.

Claude Puel’s men head into this fixture at the back of seven unbeaten league games, with one of those ending in a stalemate. With only two points separating the second and ninth-ranked teams, the team has to produce an impeccable performance to see off their opponents and the chasing pack as well.

La Paillade come into this match having lost twice only in their last seven league games, both of those losses being suffered at the hands of their hosts. Of those two were also wins, registered at home only.

A positive result for the team will, therefore, give Michel Der Zakarian’s men a better chance of stepping closer towards participating in European football next season.

The team is yet to win an away game this season and will hence have a mountain to climb in this clash if they are to contain a St Etienne side beaming with confidence and in form.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Both teams are injury-stricken coming into this game with a number of players set to miss out on the action. St Etienne has W. Saliba and C. Abi (both foot injury) and Y. M’Vila (knee injury) set to miss out while Yohann Cabaye remains doubtful for the clash with a muscle injury.

Montpellier, on the other hand, will be without N. Cozza and J. Ferri who are both nursing knee injuries while hoping that P. Mendes (hip injury) and K. Dolly will be fit for the clash.
