Lille vs Montpellier Preview and Team News

Lille Team News

Lille have been inconsistent in their bid for European places this season in Ligue 1. In their 24 rounds of fixtures this season, they have 11 wins, 8 draws, and 5 losses. This run of form sees them sit 5th on the table with 41 points. This tally is eight points behind Marseille in second and has them occupying the Europa League qualification spot in Ligue 1.

In their last 5 outings, they have 3 wins and 2 defeats. The inconsistency means that they have been unable to reign in Marseille in second and the other chasing pack teams. 

Last time out in Ligue 1, Lille were hammered 4-1 away to leaders PSG. Football predictions on 22Bet show that Bruno Génésio’s side will look to return to winning ways on Saturday.

Bruno Génésio will have to deal with three injury absentees. They include right-back Tiago Santos (cruciate ligament), right winger Edon Zhegrova (adductor), and center-back Samuel Umtiti (calf).

Lille Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Chevalier; Gudmundsson, Alexsandro, Diakité, Meunier; André, Bentaleb; Bakker, Gomes, Mukau; David.

Montpellier Team News

Montpellier are having a nightmare season. In 24 outings in Ligue 1 this season, they have 4 wins, 3 draws, and 17 defeats. They have managed to score a league-low 21 goals while conceding a league-high 58. The 15 points they have collected mean that they sit at the basement of the league and are odds on to be relegated.

Montpellier have lost all five of their last five match, conceding 14 times and scoring a solitary goal in the process. This run of form encapsulates their season, and our free football predictions show that Montpellier will face an uphill task getting something against Lille on Saturday.

A lengthy injury list makes Jean-Louis Gasset’s job that much harder. Players sidelined by injury include Christopher Jullien, Glenn Ngosso, and Nikola Maksimović. Other injury worries include Issiaga Sylla, Becir Omeragic, and Othmane Maamma. 

Montpellier Predicted Lineup (5-3-2): Lecomte; Tchato, Meïté, Kouyaté, Sagnan, Sainte-Luce; Ferri, Chotard, Savanier; Delort, Khazri

Lille vs Montpellier Prediction 

• Pick: Lille To Win
• Odds: 1.392 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Lille 3-1 Montpellier 

Lille have been in fine and more consistent form this season compared to the bottom-placed Montpellier. Three wins from their five outings shows a relatively stable form for Lille compared to Montpellier’s five losses from five.

Montpellier are also hampered by a lengthy injury list with key players like Christopher Jullien, Glenn Ngosso, and Nikola Maksimović sidelined. 

Lille’s defensive stability and solidity up against Montpellier’s blunt attack bolsters the football pick of a home win on Saturday.

Lille vs Montpellier Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Only Team Lille OSC To Score In Both Halves – Yes
• Odds: 2.35 (22Bet)

Lille have been in fine goal scoring form in recent matches. Jonathan David has been brilliant goalscoring form for the home side, which gives them the potency in attack.

Our football bet predictions show that a porous Montpellier defense will face problems up against one of the most potent attackers in Ligue 1. This backs the football pick of Lille scoring in both halves.
