Montpellier HSC have put their faith in the trusted strike partnership of Kevin Berigaud and Lucas Barrios as they welcome Reims in Ligue 1 this evening.

The two forwards are to be supported by a four-man midfield which features the attacking qualities of both Morgan Sanson and Jamel Saihi.

Reims will have three men in attack in the shape of David Ngog, Gaetan Charbonnier and Odair Fortes, while Diego Rigonato will be given a free role at the Stade de la Mosson.

The away side will be led by skipper Mickael Tacalfred from the back, as Jean-Luc Vasseur's charges go in search of three points to help move them towards the top half of the table.

Montpellier HSC: Jourdren; Congre, Hilton, El Kaoutari, Mounier, Dabo, Lasne, Sanson, Saihi, Berigaud, Barrios

Reims: Agassa; Signorino, Tacalfred, Mandi, Conte, Bourillon, Oniangue, Rigonato, Fortes, Charbonnier, Ngog
