Ligue 1 2024-2025: Montpellier-Lyon, the likely formations

Teams on the field at 3 p.m.

Montpellier-Lyon, a match valid for day number 22 of Ligue 1 2024-25, will be played on Sunday with kickoff whistle at 3 p.m.

After two consecutive successes, Montpellier suffered as many defeats in a row, falling first against Rennes and then against Strasbourg. This double knockout brought Gasset’s team back to the last position in the standings. Now, in a challenge that is anything but easy against Lyon, Montpellier will have to try to show signs of recovery.

Lyon, coming off four games without a win, has rediscovered the taste for success after Paulo Fonseca’s arrival on the bench. The clear 4-0 victory over Reims in the last round was a breath of fresh air for the former Roma and Milan team, which occupies sixth place in the standings and remains in the running for a Champions League spot.

Probable lineups

Montpellier (4-3-3): Lecomte; Tchato, Meïté, Mouanga, Sainte-Luce; Fayad, Nzingoula, Chotard; Savanier, Delort; Coulibaly. Coach: Gasset

Lyon (4-2-3-1): Perri; Kumbedi, Mata, Niakhaté, Tagliafico; Matic, Veretout; Cherki, Tolisso, Fofana; Mikautadze. Coach: Fonseca
