Montpellier - Olympique Lyonnais predictions

Montpellier may come out on top this Sunday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Olympique Lyonnais. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 3.26 for the hosts to win.

Olympique Lyonnais have their work cut out for them this Sunday. Most bookmakers online see them as the stronger team, made evident by the 2.50 betting odds for an away win. That’s a fairly slim advantage, though.

Montpellier’s latest Ligue 1 match could have gone much worse than the Rennes defeat. Knowing they were priced at huge 6.50 to win, a narrow HT/FT loss is nothing to be too disappointed with.

Olympique Lyonnais performed quite well in the previous Ligue 1 round. They took the lead early, and secured a narrow 1:0 home win. Considering most experts thought they were weaker than their opponents Olympique Marseille, the outcome was a bit of a surprise.

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

If Montpellier want to salvage the Ligue 1 season, they will need to go after three points this Sunday. Such a thing will be easier said than done knowing they currently occupy the &TABLE_POSITION place in the standings. Relegation is a threat for the hosts and their fans have every right to feel concerned.

Olympique Lyonnais are coming off of a string of sub-par results which landed them dangerously close the relegation zone. Moving up will require a lot of hard work, starting with the challenging showdown this Sunday.

A confirmed Under 2.5 Goals market seems like a foregone conclusion for this particular match. The only thing to do now is to decide whether the relatively short 1.92 odds are worth your time. We would say they are because this bet manages to have real betting value as well.
