Montpellier - Lille predictions

Montpellier managing to pull off a victory here would be quite the upset. They are definitely underdogs, so even the home-field advantage isn’t able to push the odds lower than 3.93 for a home win.

With 2.04 odds for an away win, Lille have a rather clear path to victory. Still, there’s plenty of room for an upset in a match like this, so other options are still worth considering.

The hosts will be keen to forget their previous Ligue 1 game. Montpellier thought they were onto something after a tied first half but it all came for nothing after the break. Ultimately, a Brest drubbing is nothing to show off with.

Lille have shown to know how to seize an opportunity and keep it going. Just last round they secured a solid 3:0 in a home game against Lorient. Being hard favourites with odds of 1.36 on a home win, they easily took the lead in the first half and kept the upper hand until the end.

Whether they’re playing home or away, Montpellier games are rarely as exciting as fans might want them to be. Thheir previous five outings all had less than 3 goals at the 90-minute mark.

Scoring more than 5 times over their past 3 home games, Lille have been playing with remarkable consistency lately. Although they’re the visitors this time, it’s an impressive record.

If Montpellier want to maintain their top-tier status, now would be a good time to start amassing points. It will be easier said than done this Sunday against Lille, however. At 3.93 offered at online bookies, the hosts are not exactly presented as favourites to win. If you still want to back them, a $STAKE stake is recommended.

Montpellier supporters are hoping that the team will manage to beat the odds, but their chances aren’t great if the previous game is any indication. Lille secured a solid home win against them earlier in the season, and all signs are pointing to a similar outcome this time around.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.92. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
