LIVE. Lens-MHSC: from the start of the match, Montpellier was besieged in its penalty area by Lens

Tamari, back in form, will be one of Montpellier's key players in Lens. Midi Libre – JEAN-MICHEL MART

At the Bollaert stadium, Montpellier will challenge Lens on the 14th day of Ligue 1, this Sunday, December 8 at 3 p.m.

Montpellier still has two games before the end-of-year break in this Ligue 1 championship. After this trip to Lens (7th, 20 points), the Montpellier team will travel to Nice (6th, 23 points). Despite these two complicated games, MHSC must close the gap that separates it from the other teams playing for survival.

Gasset's men will be able to rely on the state of mind displayed last week against Lille, where, having been led twice, they managed to snatch a draw at La Mosson in added time (2-2). The Pailladin coach will be suspended for this match following his expulsion in the same match.

First points away from home ?

The Héraultais will be able to count on the return of Adams and the presence of Savanier to get a result in Lens. The Bloods and Golds are not serene at home (2 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses) with a defeat against Marseille (1-3) during their last reception. But Montpellier has not won against Lens for 6 matches (3 draws, 3 losses). To complicate matters, this season Montpellier is the only team to have lost its 6 away games, not a single point taken away since the start of the championship.

The line-up decided by Gasset and his staff and which will be managed from the bench by Printant includes 5 defenders and an attacking sector where Nordin and Tamari, the two most prominent in recent matches, will be Montpellier's assets.
