Best Predictions and Top Odds for Montpellier vs Lens

After going four games without a win, Lens finally came back on their winning ways and now will be looking to get back in a battle for Champions League places next season.

Both Teams To Score – Yes

Unfortunately for Lens, their great form that was built during the first part of the season came to a halt after four straight matches without a win. That streak ended last week when they finally registered a victory. Looking ahead to their next opponent Montpellier, out of their last five h2h matches, two of them ended with both teams scoring a goal, but the last three did not. However, this Montpellier vs Lens prediction is based on their recent run of form. For most of the season, Lens excelled in the defensive end, but in their past five games, they had four BTTS games. Montpellier only had one, and that was the match against PSG which they lost 3-1. What is interesting is the contrast in form by both teams comparing their performances from the first part of the season and after the winter break. It seems that they changed their roles with Montpellier now playing better defense. Still, Lens is a better team, at least on paper, and going for BTTS on this occasion seems like a reasonable choice.

Montpellier to Win

In their last ten matches, only one ended with a draw, and that was in 2014 when the score was 3-3. Lens won five times while Montpellier took home the victory in four tries. Checking out the current form for Montpellier vs Lens, the home team has two victories in a row, and their chances of surviving the season without being relegated are getting higher. They have a seven-point advantage over the first team behind the danger zone. With a win against Nantes, Lens got back on track in their fight for Champions League football next season, but the competition for those three places has grown larger. They still have the best defense in the league with 19 conceded goals, but their recent away form is a reason to worry about for coach Franck Haise.

Here are the latest odds for the upcoming match:

Montpellier odds: 10/3 (4.33) – 23.1%

Draw odds: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%

Lens odds: 4/5 (1.80) – 55.6%

The bookies have chosen their Montpellier vs Lens odds, and they are in favor of Lens which is not a surprise. However, as the above analysis suggests, there is more than meets the eye in this matchup: If you doubt that this match will provide some goals, you could go for Goal Range 0-1 which is priced at 11/4 (3.75) – 26.7%, or if Lens is your preferred choice, taking the visiting team wins with BTTS will get you odds of 13/5 (3.50) – 28.6%.

Preview, Team News, and Montpellier vs Lens Lineups

Montpellier

The home team is in the middle of a season that started well, then became increasingly difficult with continued losses, but right now it seems that Montpellier found its way and is making sure they have a good finish to the season. Stephy Mavididi and Pedro Mendes are injured at the moment. Teji Savanier is suspended.

Provisional lineup: Lecomte, Sacko, Jullien, Kouyate, Sylla, Ferri, Leroy, Nordin, Chotard, Maouassa, Wahi.

Lens

The main issue for Lens right now is how to bring back their striking duo Lois Openda and Florian Sotoca to form so they set Ligue 1 a light earlier in the season. Without their efficiency, the team doesn't win many games which we saw recently. Even in a win against Nantes last week which ended with a 3-1 result, none of them scored a goal. Lens has serious injury issues as well. Wuilker Farinez is out for the season, the same goes for Jimmy Cabot, while Wesley Said and Claude Maurice could be back by the end of March. Steven Fortes and Adam Buksa maybe are going to be able to play against Montpellier.

Provisional lineup: Samba, Medina, Danso, Gradit, Machado, Fofana, Abdul Samed, Frankowski, Fulgini, Thomasson, Sotoca.

Player to Watch: Florian Sotoca

Even though he hasn't scored in a while, Sotoca does provide some quality. With six goals he is the second-best scorer on the team while he leads the club in assists with eight.
