Montpellier welcome Lyon to the Stade de la Mosson in Ligue 1 on Tuesday. Montpellier are unbeaten in their last three home matches against Lyon, can they keep the positive run going?

Montpellier Form


Montpellier started the Ligue 1 season with a 2-1 defeat in Rennes. Damien Le Tallec scored an early own goal with midfielder Florent Mollet sent off before half-time.

Michel Der Zakarian’s side bounced back with a 3-1 home win against Nice. Gaetan Laborde scored in his second straight match with a Daniel Congré double making it 3-0.

Andy Delort made his first appearance of the season from the start against Nice and registered two assists.

Montpellier Team News


Florent Mollet returns from suspension which could see Téji Savanier drop into a deeper role.

Lyon Form


Olympique Lyon took PSG all the way in the French League Cup final before losing on penalties. Rudi Garcia’s side lost 2-1 at Juventus in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg but advanced on away goals.

The French club beat Man City 3-1 in the quarter-finals but Bayern Munich were a step too far in the semi-finals. The German club won 3-0 on their way to winning the title. 

Lyon began the new Ligue 1 campaign with a 4-1 win against Dijon, falling behind early before responding through a Memphis Depay hat-trick and an own goal. They drew 0-0 at Bordeaux on Friday.

Rudi Garcia selected a strong side but they couldn’t break through. Lyon had 55% possession, 20-5 shots and 1.80-0.25 expected goals.

Lyon Team News


Centre-back Marçal has been sold to Wolves. Lyon left-back Youssouf Kone is close to returning from injury.

Midfielder Houssem Aouar came off the bench in Bordeaux and could start. Striker Moussa Dembélé is doubtful after being forced off on Friday.

Midfielder Jeff Reine-Adelaide announced his desire to leave the club and may not feature again. Burkina Faso attacker Bertrand Traoré is unlikely to play with a move to Aston Villa coming closer.

Lyon are dealing with Barcelona's interest in Memphis Depay with personal terms reportedly agreed.
