Perhaps Huub Stevens got wind of the team that Arsene Wenger is starting and decided to take a similar approach to his game. Schalke has to win against Montpellier to ensure that they win their group, but they hold a tiebreaker over Arsenal, meaning that they will go through if they lose and Arsenal just draw. A number of Schalke's stars are sitting down for this match, including Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
Montpellier vs. Schalke: Lineups
Meanwhile, Montpellier are starting their third-string keeper. That’s fun!
Montpellier starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Jonathan Ligali; Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Hilton, Henri Bedimo, Daniel Congre; Benjamin Stambouli, Marco Estrada; Remy Cabella, Anthony Mounier, Emanuel Herrera; Souleymane Camara
Schalke starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Timo Hildebrand; Astudo Uchida, Christoph Metzelder, Sead Kolasinac, Benidikt Höwedes; Roman Neustädter, Julian Draxler; Tranquilo Barnetta, Lewis Holtby, Teemu Pukki; Ciprian Marica
There’s a really good chance that this game could have awful defense/goalkeeping and lots of goals, so tune in if you have nothing better to do.
And if it ends 0-0, you can blame it on me.
