Montpellier vs Lille -After their most recent victory in Ligue 1 over AC Ajaccio by a score of 2-0, Montpellier is looking to build on that success.

Montpellier had 38% of the possession in that game and made 9 attempts on goal, four of which were successful. Arnaud Nordin and Elye Wahi scored for Montpellier in the 28th and 77th minutes, respectively.

On the other hand, AC Ajaccio had 15 attempts at goal, but only one of them was successful. Montpellier games have recently proven to be exciting contests, with high scoring being the norm rather than the exception.

At an average of 4.33 goals per game over their previous six meetings, both teams have scored a total of 26, with 15 of those goals coming from Montpellier.

Montpellier entered this matchup having gone 8 league games without a victory over Lille. Lille will be hoping for a better outcome this time after losing their previous match in Ligue 1 action against Nice.

In that game, Lille had a 63% possession advantage and had 18 shots on goal. Jonathan Bamba (20′) was the lone player for Lille with a goal.

Nice made three goal-scoring attempts, two of which were successful. Nice scored goals through Andy Delort (22′) and Nicolas Pépé (29′).

The fact that Lille has scored 26 goals in their past six games, or a mean average of 4.33 goals per game, demonstrates their propensity for successful games.

Of this total, 14 have been attained by their opponents. Putting that aside, we now have to wait and see if the trend in this game will continue.

Montpellier vs Lille – Betting Analysis

For Montpellier head coach Olivier Dall’Oglio, Dimitry Bertaud and Théo Sainte-Luce will be unable to play due to cruciate ligament injuries. Due to his suspension, Téji Savanier will be unable to participate in this game.

Matis Carvalho, Falaye Sacko, Maxime Estève, Nicolas Cozza, Faitout Maouassa, Léo Leroy, Jordan Ferri, Arnaud Nordin, Joris Chotard, Elye Wahi, and Valere Germain are likely to be part of La Paillade’s 4-2-3-1 lineup.

Only one player’s fitness is a cause for concern for Lille coach Paulo Fonseca in an otherwise healthy bunch. Adam Ounas won’t be playing because of a hamstring injury.

With Léo Jardim,  Jose Fonte, Tiago Djaló, Ismaily, Benjamin Andre, Angel Gomes, Edon Zhegrova, Yusuf Yazici, Jonathan Bamba, and Jonathan David, we anticipate LOSC to start the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation.
