The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Friday's Ligue 1 clash between Montpellier HSC and Rennes, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Montpellier HSC 1-1 Rennes

Whilst Rennes' loss-win-loss-win-loss-win run of form implies that they are due another defeat this time out, we are backing them to break that sequence. They have the slightly better team on paper but Montpellier have home advantage and the momentum of their win at the weekend so we are banking on a 1-1 draw on this occasion. Read more.
