Lyon vs Montpellier Predictions

• Lyon have won four of the last five meetings between these two, with 26 goals scored in total
• Montpellier have lost all seven of their away games this season
• Both teams have scored in nine of Lyon’s previous 11 matches

Lyon to continue fine form

Lyon are heavy favourites to dispatch Montpellier on Saturday night, with the visitors losing all seven league trips this term. Montpellier are bottom on the table, having already lost away to both of the sides directly above them.

The away side have shipped 19 goals across their seven losses on the road and they are expected to struggle once more with Lyon impressing of late. The hosts have won five of their last six starts across all competitions, only falling to PSG in that run.

However, Lyon have struggled at the back, with nine of their last 11 matches seeing both teams find the net. The hosts have shipped 1.57 goals per home game in Ligue 1 this term, while they’ve won four of the previous five clashes between these two sides, with 26 goals scored in that stretch.

Another high-scoring game is on the cards, but Montpellier’s form points to another home win. Take Lyon to win and concede, with a 3-1 victory my correct score prediction.
