Prediction: 2-1
Montpellier
Lens play host to Montpellier at their Stade Bollaert-Delelis on the last day of the season. Les Sang et Or are eyeing a top-six finish and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at La Paillade. Talented forward Elye Wahi is back from suspension, whilst all Kevin Danso, Neil El Aynoui, and Jhoanner Chavez are out of contention with injuries.
Montpellier, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Toulouse, losing to Monaco, while sharing the spoils with Nantes. As the visitors have little to play for in Sunday’s encounter, we predict that the hosts are going to seal their spot in European competitions in style. Teji Savanier is back from suspension, while experienced midfielder Jordan Ferri is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, speaking of the visiting team.
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.
