Lorient - Montpellier betting tips and odds

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

Montpellier are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 3.25 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

All things considered, Lorient will have been happy with their previous Ligue 1 result. They had a tough trip where everyone predicted they would end up coming from bleeding but Lorient held their ground both in the first and the second half to earn a point in a Monaco HT/FT Draw.

Montpellier lost their previous Ligue 1 clash against Lille, just like most betting predictions anticipated. Considering how difficult the matchup was for them, though, the match it was fairly close with a draw at half time and 0:1 at the end.

Lorient can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 7 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Montpellier lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

These two squads already clashed this season, and Lorient narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

Thankfully, Montpellier will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

Our prediction would be a fairly safe Home Win bet at the odds of 2.40. It’s obvious the hosts have a clear advantage going into this clash, and there’s plenty of reasons to feel confident in their success.
