Olympique Lyonnais Montpellier betting prediction
 Lyon |
|  Montpellier |
Betting suggestion:
The most likely scenario for this match will be several goals. It's true that the majority of the match will be led by Olympique Lyon, but Montpellier need to react to their poor form. It's worth noting that 57% of Lyon's games played indoors have ended with more than two goals at the end of the 90 minutes. As a result, we're expecting a tightly contested match in which chances will come close to both goals.

In their last match, for the Coupe de France, they got an away loss against Le Puy F.43 Auvergne by (4‑0).
In this competition, they have a sequence of 7 losses in the last away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 15 matches for the Ligue 1, they have reached half‑time in front in 1 of those 2 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 15 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 1.
Montpellier go into this game on the back of a 4-0 defeat at Le Puy in the French Cup. Last time out in Ligue 1, the visitors were held to a two-all draw by Nice. The away side usually play in a 4-3-3 formation, where the three most advanced players are Arnaud Nordin, Mousa Tamari and Akor Adams. When they go on the attack, they usually do so down the right flank, taking advantage of the depth provided by full-back Enzo Tchato. Given the tactical system they use, one of the away side's greatest strengths is attacking through the side channels. Kiki Kouyaté, Lucas Mincarelli and Glenn Ngosso are all out with fitness problems.
