ANALYSIS STRASBOURG VS MONTPELLIER:
First and foremost. Two teams that force a lot of bookings...
It usually gets heated when they meet, too.
Montpellier is in a vulnerable position and plays with a high level of desperation.
Modibo Sagnan: Tough central defender. Already picked up eight yellow cards – including in the home match last autumn.
Has also been booked by the referee in charge now (Jeremy Stinat).
2.75 is played.
ANALYSIS LYON VS REIMS:
Could this be the league's most underrated player? If he had played in a better team, with forwards who didn’t need so many chances, he would be topping the assist charts. Clever in tight spaces, almost always finds solutions.
Reims has scored against Lyon in the last three matches (one assist from Ito, could (SHOULD) have been more, as he had six key passes in the corresponding fixture last year).
I’d expect Reims' coach, Luca Elsner, to start Ito out on the left. If so, he’ll make life very difficult for Lyon’s teenage full-back out there (Sael Kumbedi).
