Montpellier will host Toulouse on Tuesday (December 20) in a friendly. The hosts have endured a disastrous campaign, finding themselves just outside the drop zone in Ligue 1 with 14 points from 15 games.
They played out a 1-1 home draw against Stade Reims last time out, with Sacha Delaye coming off the bench to score a brilliant equaliser at the death with his first league goal. Le Pallaide carried out a 5-0 thrashing of Ligue 2 outfit Rodez in their last friendly outing.
Toulouse, meanwhile, have not had the smoothest return to the French top flight but remain on course to avoid the drop. They lost 2-1 to Stade Rennais in their last competitive outing game, with Thijs Dallinga's second-half strike sandwiched between goals from their high-flying opponents.
Les Violets will play the third of their three scheduled friendlies this week, having gone winless in the previous two.
