Montpellier – Rennes preview: Latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Montpellier vs Rennes lineups.
Montpellier
Montpellier’s insecure displays continued last weekend when they drew 2-2 vs Strasbourg. On the surface, the result is not that bad but Montpellier threw away a 2-0 lead in this match and once again looked very shaky defensively.
Montpellier are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, 9 goals were conceded in 5 rounds, and their only win so far was against the even shakier team of Lyon.
The problems in defence can be explained by the fact that Montpellier are missing some important defenders right now. All of Sakho, Tchato, Sainte-Luce and Esteve are nursing injuries right now. This seriously limits the options at the back with only 4 fully fit defenders available.
Predicted Lineup:
Lecomte (GK), Sacko, Kouyate, Omeragic, Sylla, Ferri, Chotard, Nordin, Savanier, Khazri & Adams
Rennes
Rennes are yet to lose this season but after winning 5-1 their opening game the Terriers went on a 4-game run of draws in the league. Last weekend they were the better team when hosting Lille but in the end managed only a 2-2 draw.
The mood improved on Thursday though with Rennes opening their Europa League campaign with a convincing 3-0 home win vs Maccabi Haifa.
Salah has scored 3 goals in 4 league appearances so far and he is the team’s top goalscorer. His contributions are very important as right now the main left winger Terrier and the talented striker Kalimuendo are out injured.
Predicted Lineup:
Mandanda (GK), Assignon, Omari, Theate, Truffert, Santamaria, Matic, Le Fee, Bourigeaud, Gouiri & Salah
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Montpellier
Rennes
Player to Watch: Steve Mandanda
Rennes have on goal the 38-year-old Mandanda. The experienced goalie is vital for Rennes and he was voted Man of the Match in 2 of the last 3 games. Mandanda is clearly in a very good form right now and he is our player to watch, with the possible key for Rennes to win the game being a clean sheet.
