Lille Osc vs Montpellier Hsc Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Nella Wagah | in Ligue 1 Prediction
Lille have a chance to open a six-point gap at the top of Ligue 1 when they host Montpellier on Friday. Going to the game, they are at the top of the standings with 69 points, while Montpellier are eighth with 46 points. Lille have two straight wins and clean sheets since their shock loss to Nimes and will be hoping for a third here. The hosts have the best defence in the league, having conceded 19 goals and have also lost the least matches. However, they’re the lowest scorers in the top four, with 53 goals. Their win over PSG placed them in pole position for the league title and they built on it with the win over Lens in the last game. Lille will be better defensively for the Montpellier visit as Tiago Djalo returns from suspension but as they return home after two away matches, they’ll be keen to avoid a repeat of what happened in their last home game – the loss to Nimes. The league leaders have three wins and a loss in the last five home league matches, with four clean sheets in the process. Ahead of the loss to Nimes, Lille had gone unbeaten in five home games in the league, and are currently unbeaten in five against Montpellier.
Montpellier have three losses in the last five matches against Lille. They head to this game unbeaten in their last 10 league matches but with just four wins in the process and have one clean sheet in the last 15 matches. No team has conceded more goals than Montpellier in the top 15 in Ligue 1 and this is an area they have to address as they set European aspirations. Montpellier are six points below the UEFA Conference League places and will have to handle this game better than they did the 3-3 draw with Marseille last time out. They took a first minute lead in the game but in the end, needed a last minute goal to salvage a point. Poor defensive performances have really cost the team. While they have two prolific forwards in Andy Delport and Gaetan Laborde, they haven’t realized the full benefit of the duo’s combined 23 goals because of a leaky defence. They head here with one win and two losses in the last eight away league matches.

Our Lille Osc vs Montpellier Hsc Prediction
Lille have done well in their last two matches, against high placed opponents. Montpellier are tricky opponents but Lille should have enough in them to deal with it. The league leaders have been solid in defence, winning matches by slim margins and with Jonathan David in attack, they have a forward good enough to open up Montpellier. The visitors do not have many clean sheets and we don’t expect them to keep one here. Go for a Lille win here.
