Lens - Montpellier predictions

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of Lens and the fact that Montpellier are given 6.31 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Montpellier victory would be a shocking surprise.

It’s fair to say Lens demonstrated their character in the last Ligue 1 clash. They held it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes against a tough rival and managed to record an important draw (Rennes).

Montpellier faced Monaco in the previous round as hosts. With most bookmakers online pricing a home win at 4.03, even the draw at half-time was somewhat surprising. The stalemate didn’t last, however, and Monaco decisively won the game 0:2.

Lens haven’t let a game pass them by without scoring for the past seven rounds, so this match is not likely to be any different.

Lens’s results this season have been rather mediocre. We’re very close to the end of the season and they’ll need to earn 4 more points to qualify for this year’s Europa League. Still, if they’re aiming for a surprise, this Sunday would be a great time to start.

These two teams already clashed multiple times this season, and neither managed to come out on top in any of those games. Most bookmakers see Lens as the favourites, though, so they’ll want to use the extra drive of being the hosts to finally earn a conclusive result.

The risks involved in backing a BTTS bet for this match are minimal. Both Lens and Montpellier have a history of confirming the market so the 1 odds offered at 1xbet is too good to pass up.
