Nantes have chosen to lead with a 5-3-2 formation as they welcome Montpellier HSC in Ligue 1 this evening, with Itay Shechter and Yacine Bammou starting in attack.

The two strikers will be given support from Jordan Veretout, Vincent Bessat and Alejandro Bedoya, while two wing-backs will break out from a defensive five at the back.

The away side have opted for a 4-5-1, which will be led by lone striker Lucas Barrios, with Paul Lasne and Morgan Sanson featuring as part of the midfield.

HSC skipper Vitorino Hilton will marshall the side from a defensive position, as they look to build on two wins from three games in the league so far.
