Lens vs Montpellier Prediction and Betting Tips | October 15th 2022

Lens will welcome Montpellier to the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Ligue 1 action on Saturday.

The home team fell to their first defeat of the season in their previous outing as arch-rivals Lille defeated them 1-0 at home, with Jonathan David's 44th minute penalty proving to be the decisive goal of the game. Third-placed Marseille also fell to a defeat, so their position in the league table remains unchanged.

Montpellier's 10 games this season have produced conclusive results, with four ending in wins and the remaining six ending in defeats. They fell to their fourth defeat in five games last time around as they suffered a 2-0 home loss to Monaco. It was their first game of the season in which they failed to find the back of the net.

Lens vs Montpellier Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Lens vs Montpellier Prediction

Les Sang et Or have a solid record at home this season and are strong favorites here. Twelve of their 17 goals this season have come on home turf and they should be able to find the back of the net against La Paillade.

Montpellier have three wins in their last five trips to Lens and will be hopeful of a positive outcome. They have lost three of their four away games in Ligue 1 this season though and might struggle in this match.

Given the stark contrast between the home and away form of the two teams, Lens are expected to have the upper hand here and should be able to eke out a narrow win.
