Tuesday night, Lyon goes to the field of Montpellier on behalf of a game late for the 5th day of Ligue 1. Montpellier wants to go up the rankings while Lyon hopes to keep its leading position.
Author of a good season last year at the end of which he ranked in 6th place, Montpellier is more bothered at the beginning of this new year. After a very average preparation (a win, a draw and three defeats), the Hérault were surprised by Rennes during the first day (0-1). Ten days ago, they could not maintain their lead on the Bordeaux field (1-1).
For its part, Lyon impresses at the beginning of the season. 3rd of the last championship and in great difficulties during their preparation during which they lost 4 matches out of 5, the Gones flew over their 2 meetings. Monaco face first (0-3) and against Angers (6-0) last Friday. With such results, Sylvinho’s men are at the top of the rankings.
