Lens Montpellier betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

A game that is expected to be very open and with several moves of danger. Both Lens and Montpellier have quality attacks when it comes to finishing and in this game they should act in a more offensive way. We recall that the clubs scored goals in all the games played in these conditions. Taking into account all these factors, risking in favor of the "Both teams to score - Yes" market is a good option.

Preview
Lens and Montpellier meet at Stade Bollaert‑Delelis, in a match for the 14th round of the Ligue 1. There is no recent record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams. The last head‑to‑head was played on 10‑05‑2015 and ended with the final score: Lens (0‑1) Montpellier. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Lens

The home team is currently in the 7th position of the league, with 21 points won, after 6 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Angers SCO, by (1‑3). In the last match, they won in an away match against Rennes, by (0‑2). This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. For the league, Lens won 11 points out of 18 possible points, after 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 6 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 9 of the last 12 matches for the Ligue 1, they have reached half‑time in front in 6 of those 9 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 5 of them.

In this tactical formation, the two most forward men will be Florian Sotoca and Ignatius Ganago, with the second player mentioned being the top scorer, with 5 goals scored. The home coach cannot count on Cheick Traoré due to physical problems.
