Dunkerque Team Overview
Dunkerque finished last season tenth, and the year before were one step away from Ligue 1 - fourth place and a defeat to Metz in the playoff final. In the summer of 2025, Albert Sanchez took charge of the club. He moved to the north of France from Barcelona B. This is his second season at the club, and he has started it brightly.

Montpellier Team Overview
Montpellier spent 16 consecutive seasons in Ligue 1 and were French champions once - in 2012. In 2025 that run came to an end, and the club finished their first second-division season in eighth place. Zoumana Camara took charge back in April 2025, when there was nothing left to salvage in the top flight. He stayed on and is now into his second full season. The start has been modest: in the first round they let a win slip at home against Dijon, and in the second they ground out a result away at Nancy. Though Théo Cheneyi picked up a thigh injury there. That said, Montpellier have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away matches in Ligue 2.
