Olympique Lyonnais Montpellier betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This match tends to be a little unbalanced, considering that the home team has a squad of great quality, makes great campaign and has been undefeated for 8 games in Ligue 1, while the away one has only medium squad and still failed to present its best football in the competition. 
Montpellier has a strong defense that concedes few goals away from home, but Lyon should press from the start, making the most of its best squad and create several chances for goal. 
Given these factors and the great strength of Lyon in its stadium and the highest quality of its athletes, we believe that the team win the 3 points in this match.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 wins in the last matches and they haven't lost any of the last 6 home matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 40 of the last 53 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have been able to score first and have done so in 10 of the last 12 matches for the Ligue 1, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 7 of those 10 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 7 of them.

Lyon has been making a good French championship, is undefeated for 8 games and is now looking for another positive result to try to reduce the 7 points distance from the leader Paris Saint-Germain. 
The team is characterized by a good quality attack that has scored 32 goals and is the third most positive of the competition, while the defense, conceded 15 goals and is the seventh less leaked, but it is worth noting that the team did not concede goals in the last 3 matches in Ligue 1. 
Playing at home, like the match on Sunday, Lyon has the third best campaign of the league, is one of the 3 teams that has not lost and it is worth noting that scored 17 goals in 6 home games. 
For the match against Montpellier, coach Bruno Genesio has no problems in the main team and should repeat the eleven from the last round.

Confirmed Lineup: Anthony Lopes, Kenny Tete, Ferland Mendy, Marcelo, Mouctar Diakhaby, Lucas Tousart, Tanguy Ndombélé, Houssem Aouar, Mariano Díaz, Maxwel Cornet, Memphis Depay.

Analysis Montpellier

The away team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 16 points won, after 4 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Rennes, by (0‑1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Amiens, by (1‑1). Their last away match was for the Coupe de la Ligue and ended in a win by (0‑2) against Guingamp. In the last 5 away league matches Montpellier has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 15 possible. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 12 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Montpellier has only been presenting a medium performance in Ligue 1, has not won 2 games and has to start to present a better football, as its performance has been lower than expected. 
The big problem has been the inefficiency of its offensive system, since it has scored only 9 goals in 12 rounds, being the fourth worst attack of the competition, but the defense has been working with great solidity, conceded only 8 goals and is the less leaked, being necessary a greater balance between these two sectors. 
Playing away from home, such as this Sunday's match, Montpellier has not lost 3 games, conceded only 1 goal in these matches and is the team that conceded the least goals. 
For the game against Lyon, coach Michel Der Zakarian has no problem with injury in the main team and then goes to the field with maximum strength.

Confirmed Lineup: Benjamin Lecomte, Ruben Aguilar, Jérôme Roussillon, Pedro Mendes, Vitorino Hilton, Nordi Mukiele, Salomon Sambia, Paul Lasne, Facundo Piriz, Giovanni Sio, Casimir Ninga.
Coach: R. Pitau.
