Montpellier predicted XI v Nice: Modibo Sagnan out, Arnaud Nordin starts | OneFootball

Michel Der Zakarian could field a much-changed defence as Montpellier HSC head to face struggling OGC Nice at the Allianz Riviera on Friday evening.

Les Héraults will be able to count on the presence of Christopher Jullien and Becir Omeragic, both of whom return to face Les Aiglons, however, Modibo Sagnan will miss out on the encounter against Nice, as Der Zakarian’s side look to build on last weekend’s draw against RC Strasbourg Alsace.

Omeragic is expected to start, however, Jullien is likely to be on the bench, with Boubakar Kouyaté expected to get the nod. Arnaud Nordin has had to contend with multiple injuries this season, however, he is finally starting games regularly. He has started the last four in Ligue 1, scoring three goals, and he will form part of Montpellier’s front three on Friday.
