Montpellier predicted XI vs Lyon: Akor Adams to return | OneFootball

Montpellier will be hoping to get back on track following a hefty Coupe de France defeat at the hands of Nice midweek. However, they will face an in-form Lyon side who have beaten Lille and Marseille in their last two outings.

L’Équipe report that Michel Der Zakarian is set to change things up against Lyon, including a change of formation to a 5-2-3 instead of the 4-4-2 formation which he deployed against Nice. This change in formation should see changes throughout the pitch.

The first of these changes coming in defence with Théo Saint-Luce dropping to the bench in favour of Lucas Mincarelli at left-back. With one additional defender, Kouyate should also start with Léo Leroy the eventual casualty in midfield. Téji Savanier should drop back into midfield to form a double pivot. Two changes are also expected in the attack with Akor Adams and Arnaud Nordin joining Yann Karamoh.

Montpellier likely XI vs Lyon:

Benjamin Lecomte – Silvan Hefti, Bécir Omeragić, Boubakar Kouyaté, Modibo Sangan, Lucas Mincarelli – Téji Savanier, Joris Chotard – Arnaud Nordin, Akor Adams, Yann Karamoh.
