Olympique Lyonnais - Montpellier betting tips and odds

Montpellier will have little to hope for against Olympique Lyonnais. The home charges are bursting with confidence and it would take a small miracle for the away team to take anything from this game.

Montpellier stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 8.00 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

It’s hard to argue against the effectiveness of Olympique Lyonnais on their home turf. They curtly earned three points against Strasbourg in the last round by maintaining a lead throughout the match. The 1.35 made them huge favourites and that’s exactly how the world’s best bookies online see them this time as well.

Montpellier’s previous Ligue 1 round against Dijon left a lot of fans confused during half-time because they were playing from behind in a favourable matchup. They made up for it by the end, though, by dominating the second half into a clear 4:2 home win.

Olympique Lyonnais have managed to bag 6 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Groupama Stadium are expecting a lot of action this time around.

Montpellier may need more consistency in their defense if they want to get anywhere. They have more than 5 conceded goals over their 3 most recent home games, for instance.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Montpellier once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

With limited means at their disposal, both teams will have to make do with shortened rosters. We’re referring to the fact both teams suffered strings of injuries, rendering a good chunk of both squads unavailable for this match. Olympique Lyonnais_INJURIES will not be playing for the hosts, while Montpellier_INJURIES will be missing on the visiting side.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.53, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
