Montpellier vs Lens Prediction & Match Preview

Lens will be looking to continue their fine domestic form on Friday evening when they visit Stade de la Mosson – Mondial 98 to face struggling Montpellier in Matchday No 15.

Lens are unbeaten in nine straight Ligue 1 outings and they’ll go into this on the back of four victories and a draw in the last five games along the way.

The latest of successes came on Saturday evening as Franck Haise’s men saw off Lyon 3-2 in front of the home crowd.

It was an eventful affair with plenty of chances and a late red-card for Florian Sotoca who will thus skip Friday’s trip to Montpellier.

As for Montpellier, they continued their poor run of form, making it five games without a win in the league on Sunday when they fell 0-2 away at Monaco.

Michel Der Zakarian’s men scored just two goals in the last five games and their back line left way too many clear-cut openings once again on Sunday, allowing Monaco take almost a double-digit number of shots on target at Stade Louis II.

Latest Meetings

Lens go into this encouraged with a streak of three wins and a draw in the last four encounters with Montpellier.

Lens also have a positive record at Stade de la Mosson where they won 8, drew 4, and lost 5 of the previous 15 clashes with Montpellier.

Only one of the last five head to head games between these teams provided three or more goals.

The Verdict

Montpellier are struggling on both ends of the pitch these days and we have to see them as big underdogs against an in-form Lens side here.

The away win is the main pick at the 2.25 odds while we also fancy Lens to score two or more goals at the 2.10 odds.
