Strasbourg – Montpellier preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Strasbourg vs Montpellier lineups.
Strasbourg
Strasbourg have shown contrasting form in the first 4 rounds. They won both their home games and scored 2 goals in each of those wins. On the road lost back-to-back matches and failed to score both times.
Focusing on their home matches in search of points is important and this is what Strasbourg are trying to do.
Recently sold their star striker Habib Diallo and without him, there is reduced firepower up front. Mothiba and the recently signed Emegha look set to rotate up front for now. Veteran striker Gameiro, 36 now, is mainly used off the bench as an impactful substitute.
The useful full-back Sobol remains sidelined. Midfielder Bastian is also missing injured. He too would have been used often if fit.
Predicted Lineup:
Sels (GK), Guilbert, Perrin, Nyamsi, Sylla, Prcic, Delaine, Doukoure, Deminguet, Diarra & Mothiba
Montpellier
Montpellier lost a second consecutive match in the last round when being edged 0-1 away vs Lille. The display was not too bad but the lack of cutting edge proved costly.
Montpellier are yet to keep a clean sheet and this is why they won only once in the opening 4 rounds.
Al-Taamari and Adams have started the season in bright form, both scored 3 goals each in the opening 3 games.
The main issues remain in defence right now. Both centre-backs Omeragic and Jullien are in poor form right now. This is a problem as one of them always has to start because Sainte-Luce remains in rehabilitation.
Predicted Lineup:
Lecomte (GK), Sacko, Jullien, Kouyate, Sylla, Ferri, Chotard, Al-Taamari, Savanier, Khazri & Adams
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

Montpellier
Player to Watch: Akor Adams
Montpellier’s new striker Akor Adams is having a sensational 2023 so far. The Nigerian striker scored 15 goals in 15 matches for Lillestrom earlier this year before joining the French side this summer.
Adams immediately seems to have adapted to life in the French Ligue 1 too and he already bagged 3 goals in 4 rounds.
Considering his efficiency (18 goals in 19 league matches so far in 2023) we back Adams to shine again in the coming match.
