For Montpellier manager Romain Pitau, Théo Sainte-Luce (cruciate ligament rupture), Pedro Mendes (knee issues), Léo Leroy (muscle injury), and Dimitry Bertaud (cruciate ligament rupture) will be unable to participate.
There is only one fitness issue for Angers SCO boss Abdel Bouhazama to worry about in a team that is otherwise fully healthy. Los Diony is unable to play in this match due to a cruciate ligament rupture.
We believe Montpellier will likely control most of the possession and be able to convert a few of their opportunities into goals.
At the same time, Angers SCO may find it difficult to score as well, though we do believe that they will eventually score here as well.
