Tuesday, the 1 / 8th finals of the Coupe de France begin with a meeting between Belfort and Montpellier. Both teams will want to win to try to reach the next round.
Far from the elite, Belfort battles this season in its National 2 championship where it ranks, for the moment, in 9th place in the ranking with 18 points won in its first 16 games. A balance sheet that will not allow him to hope on the upper floor at the end of the season. On the other hand, the Burgundians are rather showing their advantage in this Coupe de France where they beat Gazélec Ajaccio in particular (1-0) and especially the professionals of Nancy in the previous round (3-1).
Opposite, Montpellier is a safe bet in Ligue 1. The MHSC is in good shape at the start of this year 2020 since it has won all its matches in all competitions since the resumption. Winners from Brest (4-0), Amiens (1-2) and Dijon (2-1), the Héraultais climbed to 4th place in the league table, 4 lengths from the podium. Earlier in the competition, they defeated Reims Sainte-Anne (0-1) then Caen (5-0).
Most Belfortais are complete strangers to the general public if not the former Brestois Jason Ranneaud. At the front, striker Manzinali is forfeited, while midfielder Saline is suspended. If the top scorer is named Mohamed Bentahar, veteran Thomas Régnier scored twice against Nancy.
Montpellier is still traveling without defenders Pedro Mendes and Cozza, and the not used Kaïboué. If the international South African Dolly joined the infirmary, the medium replacing Ristic is back. Saturday, the former Caennais Delort scored his 8th goal of the season in the league but he could start on the bench.
The probable compositions for Belfort vs Montpellier:
Belfort: Ehlinger – Dago, Arisi, Cuenin, Konki – Magassouba – Bekkouche, Loichot, Grasso, Umbdenstock – Régnier.
Montpellier: Rulli – Le Tallec, Hilton, Congré – Sambia, Ferri, Chotard, Oyongo – Mollet – Laborde, Camara.
In great shape since the recovery, Montpellier seems able to avoid the trap set by Belfort on Tuesday evening by making the difference in the second half.
