Lance missed an opportunity. Last year’s French runners-up were held to a goalless draw by Montpellier at Monsoon in the first leg of their 15th Ligue 1 campaign, with the Lancashire side remaining -10 off the top of Paris Saint-Germain, who host on Saturday Nantes, with the 1998 champions also at -5 from the Champions League trio, and Monaco, who play Rennes in Brittany on Saturday.
For their part, the 2013 champions took a “breather” after being +2 from the relegation trio, awaiting the results of the weekend.
The match does not claim “laurels” of quality, with the two teams not creating significant opportunities in front of the two homes.
