After the disillusionment suffered on the Rock at the end of added time, the MHSC must restart the machine against Reims before the international break.
Deprived of Mousa Tamari and Othmane Maamma for some time, Michel Der Zakarian will have to do without Tanguy Coulibaly. The offensive forces present will be Arnaud Nordin, Akor Adams and Wahbi Khazri. Can we expect a change in the system? With the return of Joris Chotard to midfield, Birama Touré should also start to compensate for the absence of Rabby Nzingoula. For the rest, it should be classic. Issiaga Sylla, back last week, could find a starting place in a sector where the three full-backs are struggling to reassure.
As for Stade de Reims, the start of the season is very interesting since they are fourth with eleven points. They have only conceded one defeat, at home against LOSC. Luka Elsner will have almost all his strength at his disposal, including Keito Nakamura, Reims’ top scorer with three goals. While they held PSG to a draw at the Auguste Delaune stadium during their last home match which they improved with a victory in Angers, there is no doubt that the Rouge et Blanc will be keen to please their audience.
Montpellier Hérault must take points and quickly. This trip to Champagne should allow us to review the values displayed last week. Through combat, determination and efficiency, the MHSC has something to seek to work more peacefully during the truce.
