Prediction: 1-2
Lens
Stade de la Mosson will host Friday’s football game between Montpellier and Lens, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Montpellier aim to put an end to their five-game winless run in the Ligue 1, but they face yet another difficult task against Lens. Defender Kiki Kouyate misses out through suspension, while all Arnaud Nordin, Theo Saint-Luce, Jordan Ferri, Leo Leroy, and Issiaga Sylla remain in the recovery room.
Les Sang et Or, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-2 win over Olympique Lyon, with the team extending their winning run to three games and given Montpellier’s poor form in the French top flight, away triumph should be considered. The good news for the visitors is that talented forward Elye Wahi is back from suspension. Fellow attacker Florian Sotoca, though, is banned for the match following his sending-off in the triumph over les Gones.
Highlighted Player (Téji Savanier):
Born in Montpellier on December 22, 1991, Teji Savanier is a French footballer who plays for Nimes in the Ligue 1 as a midfielder. Savanier began his senior career at Arles-Avignon and it has to be noted that he played for the club from 2011 to 2015.
Ahead of the start of the 2015/2016 Ligue 2 campaign, Teji Savanier joined Nimes and he has been playing for the club ever since. The 171-cm tall midfielder has established himself as a first-team regular at Nimes and he successfully plays for the club in the French top flight. Savanier’s main position is central midfield, but he is used as an attacking midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right.
Despite producing fine performances for Nimes in all competitions, Teji Savanier has yet to receive a call-up for the French national football team. His contract with Nimes should expire on June 27, 2018.
Highlighted Team (Lens):
Based in the Pas-De-Calais department, Lens is a French club that plays home games at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. The Sang et Or are well known for their red shirts with yellow stripes, while black is the dominant colour of their away jersey.
The club was founded back in 1906 and the Sang et Or originally played in green and black shirts. Speaking of their home ground, Stade Bollaert-Delelis can hold up to 38,058 spectators. The venue was opened back in 1933, and renovated during the 2014/15 season. Lens did well to win the Ligue 1 trophy in the 1997/98 season, with the team finishing the process level on points with second-place Metz.
As a result, the Sang et Or represented France in the Champions League group stages the following season. The club’s biggest European success came in the 1999/00 season when they made it to the UEFA Cup semis. Lens have won two Coupe de la Ligue trophies as well.
