However, Montpellier, which has won two consecutive victories prior to this match, has not been a solid and reliable team and struggles to win at home. Meanwhile, Lens is one of the teams with the most wins and in fact comes from a win in their last match.

Betting on Montpellier
Montpellier have three wins to their name in their last five Ligue 1 meetings and have posted undefeated shutouts in each of them. Despite their recent positive results, their number of defeats is higher and is what prevents them from being in a better position in the standings, as they have eight wins, two ties and 14 losses, and are ranked #14.
Half of their defeats have come at home, but their last home game was a 3-0 win over Brest, ending a six-game winless streak. In fact, it has only three wins in its last 10 home games in the league.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Benjamin Lecomte; Issiaga Sylla, Boubakar Kouyaté, Christopher Jullien, Falaye Sacko; Leo Leroy, Jordan Ferri; Faitout Maouassa, Joris Chotard, Arnaud Nordin; Sepe Elye Wahi.
Betting on Lens
Lens is one of the teams that is fighting among the first positions of the general classification and although it is 8 points behind the leader PSG, it will at least try to secure the qualification to the international competitions. They defeated Nantes by a score of 3-1 last weekend, after having gone four games without a win in the French league.
This will be an important challenge for them, as they will be playing on foreign soil, where they have not been able to win since November 2022 in Ligue 1. Since then, five matches have passed, the most recent of which they lost (2-1 to Lyon).
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Brice Samba; Jonathan Gradit, Kevin Danso, Facundo Medina; Przemysław Frankowski, Salis Abdul Samed, Seko Fofana, Deiver Machado; Adrien Thomasson, Angelo Fulgini; Florian Sotoca.
JefeBet Prediction
Lens has the obligation to win this match as they have much more at stake than their rival. Moreover, the fact that they are one of the two teams with the least amount of defeats (3) this season places them as the clear favorite, despite the fact that they will be visitors here.
Prediction: Victory for Lens by a score of 0-2.
