Montpellier Vs Lens Prediction

In the past three encounters between Montpellier and Lens, the total number of goals scored has been less than 2.5, with Montpellier failing to score twice and Lens being unable to score once.

Montpellier’s performance has improved in their recent matches, having kept two consecutive clean sheets for the first time this season. However, their leading goal-scorer, Teji Savanier, will be absent from the upcoming match.

Montpellier’s last game against Brest ended in a 3-0 victory in favour of Montpellier while Lens’ last game against Lyon ended in a 2-1 victory in favour of Lyon.

MONTPELLIER REVIEW

Montpellier had suffered six losses in seven matches, prompting them to replace their manager. However, Der Zakarian’s return has proven to be a game-changer for the team, who have now won two consecutive matches for the first time this year. Montpellier has accumulated 26 points from 24 games and is currently seven points away from the relegation zone. The hosts won their last Ligue 1 match 1-0 against Troyes who are 16th place.

LENS REVIEW

Lens are currently trailing Paris Saint-Germain by eight points in the league standings, but they are still in contention for a top-three finish as they sit just one point behind third-placed Monaco and three points behind second-placed Marseille and sure will be looking to keep up with the top three in ligue 1.

Moreover, Lens have the best defensive record in the league this season, having only conceded 19 goals in 24 matches. Their goalkeeper Brice Samba has kept nine clean sheets in the ongoing 2022-23 campaign.

Following their impressive 3-1 win against Nantes last weekend, coach Haise’s team seems to have overcome their recent dip in form and are poised to pursue their European aspirations in the forthcoming weeks.

ZEbet Prediction

Both Montpellier and Lens are vying for a win in their upcoming match. Montpellier aims to build some stability under their new coach, while Lens seeks to narrow the gap at the top for an opportunity to get back in a battle for Champions League places next season. As a result, we anticipate Lens to win and an aggressive match with scoring opportunities for both teams.
