Montpellier vs Lens Preview 


Montpellier are full of confidence after claiming two straight wins. Lens have lost just one of their last ten road contests, half of those ending without a winner, so I am predicting a draw in France.

Montpellier Form 


Montpellier have claimed six massive points in their last two Ligue 1 appearances and moved up to 17th place on the table, just three points short of exiting the relegation zone. 

La Paillade caused a big upset on 17th January, beating Monaco 2-1 in front of the home crowd, Moussa Al Ta’Mari scoring a brace in the second half. 

They pulled another comeback last weekend at Toulouse, Modibo Sagnan and Othmane Maamma finding the net in the second half to secure a 2-1 victory. 

Lens Form 


Lens are entering this match as 7th placed team in the French top flight, having collected 30 points in 19 matches, currently three points short of the Top 4 zone. 

Their recent form has been quite inconsistent, starting the year with a 1-0 home loss to Toulouse, followed by a 2-1 road win against Le Havre. 

Then, the Blood and Gold had a good start against PSG at home and gained a lead through M’Bala Nzola, but conceded two unanswered goals in the second half to lose the game 2-1. 

Last weekend, Lens have claimed a 1-0 home victory against Angers with Przemyslaw Frankowski scoring the only goal in 49th minute. 

Team News 


Montpellier will be without their defenders Nikola Maksimovic (hamstring injury) and Lucas Mincarelli (muscle injury). 

As for the visitors, strikers Martin Satriano and Remy Labeau Lascary are out with long-term injuries, while left-back Jhoanner Chavez is recovering from an ankle sprain. 

Predicted Starting Lineups  


Montpellier: Lecomte, Tchato, Boudzoumou, Omeragic, Sagnan, Sylla, Savanier, Chotard, Nzingoula, Al Taamari, Khazri 

Lens: Koffi, Frankowski, Gradit, Sarr, Medina, Machado, Sotoca, Thomasson, Diouf, Nzola, Koyalipou

Verdict

Lens are ahead on the standings but can’t be trusted on the road, five of their last ten games ending without a winner. I will back them and in-form Montpellier to settle for a draw on Friday.
