Montpellier vs Lyon Prediction & Match Preview

Lyon are set to travel to Stade de la Mosson to take on Montpellier for their upcoming league fixture, with both clubs looking for three vital points to get themselves away from the bottom three.

Lyon, who stand 15th in the league rankings, come into the game off a 1-0 win against Marseille in their previous league match, courtesy of an Alexandre Lacazette goal in the first half, which was then also followed by a 2-1 victory over Lille in the Coupe de France.

In addition to their two consecutive victories, the visitors would probably feel quite positive about their chances of success given their improved performance in recent months, which is demonstrated by their seven wins in their last nine games in all competitions.

Their opponents, Montpellier, on the other hand, while dropping to 13th in the standings though with the same points as their opponents in the league, enter the match off a 2-1 defeat to Rennes, which was then followed by their second consecutive defeat in a 4-1 loss to Nice in the Coupe de France.

Adding to it, the hosts have also won only once in their past five competitive matches, which came against lower league opponents SC Feignies.

Recent Meetings

• The last match between these two was in August 2023, when Montpellier won 4-1.
• Lyon did, however, had a four-game winning streak against this opponent before the defeat.
• While each of the last four encounters between the two teams has also concluded with more than 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.

Montpellier vs Lyon Prediction

Lyon’s recent run, which included seven victories in their previous nine matches across all competitions, does give them an edge here against a Montpellier side that has displayed a number of substandard recent performances.

Therefore, a victory for Lyon at 2.41 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.

For the second tip, the odds of 1.77 for both teams to score look quite attractive. Given that the hosts have conceded four goals in their past two matches. While the visitors have also been breached nine times in their last four away league outings.
