Montpellier Hsc vs Lens Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Nella Wagah in Ligue 1 Predictions
Montpellier have picked up well in their recent matches and will be targeting a win when they welcome Lens this Friday. This will be a Ligue 1 clash finding La Paillade second from bottom and Les Sang et Or in seventh place. We have the preview and a prediction for this match below.
Montpellier gave their survival hopes a massive boost with two straight wins ahead of this game. Identical 2-1 wins over Monaco and Toulouse have lifted them to within three points of safety.
In both matches, they came from behind, a mark of their fighting spirit, which will be key here as well.
Lens are being kept out of the European football places by their inferior goal difference. They have 30 points from their opening 19 league matches, tied with Lyon.
The visitors haven't been consistent in their recent matches, though they come into this game off the back of a win. With Przemyslaw Frankowski’s lone goal, Lens pulled off a 1-0 win at home to Angers in their last outing.
With that, they recovered from a 2-1 home loss to PSG, which was also their second defeat in four league matches. Lens have a stronger away run in league matches, unbeaten in the last three, and scoring twice in four of the previous five.

Our Montpellier Hsc vs Lens Prediction
Back-to-back league wins have built up the confidence at Montpellier but they aren’t doing well defensively. Defensive struggles have been seen at Lens as well, with the team managing just a clean sheet in the last five league matches.
There are big ambitions for both sides going into this game. Montpellier are looking to rise off the automatic relegation spots while Lens seek to leap into European football slots. With these targets, we don’t expect either side to hold back. Our prediction for Montpellier v Lens is for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
