Montpellier vs Lyon: forecast for the French Championship match
The Sunday program of the Ligue 1 matches on February 16 will be opened by the confrontation between Montpellier and Lyon. Will the hosts be able to compete for points on their own field or, as the bookmakers believe, will they fail? The answer is in our forecast. What should I choose for a bet?
Command Analysis
Montpellier
FranceCurrent form
Having sparkled in mid-January, Montpellier also wilted. Last month, the Paladins won two rounds in a row, which has not happened yet this season. The fans had hope for salvation, but in the last two games the team suffered a fiasco. Yes, there were games with teams from the top of the standings, but the upcoming opponent is also in the European Cup six, so in theory there are quite a few chances of a positive outcome.
At the moment, Montpellier is in last place in the standings. The gap from at least the joint zone is three points, and from a safe place — six.
Disqualifications and injuries
Julien, Sylla, Maksimovic, Omeragic, Sagnan are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Montpellier lost in the last two matches.
- In all the games of the current season, the hosts conceded
Approximate composition: Lecomte – Tachato, Meite, Kouyate, Saint-Luce – Shotard, Ferry, Savanier – Maamma, Delort, Khazri.
Lyon
FranceCurrent form
Lyon is doing well in the Europa League, because by taking sixth place in the League stage, the team was able to immediately get to the 1/8 finals. The game in the national championship is not so good and high-quality. After 21 rounds played with 33 points scored, the team is in sixth place in the standings. In the last round, we managed to win confidently against Reims (4-0). That victory made it possible to break the unbeaten streak in Ligue 1, which consisted of four matches in a row: two draws and two defeats. In theory, there shouldn't be any special problems with the upcoming opponent, but will it be like that in practice, because in the first round, playing on their own field, they managed to win only with a minimum score of 1-0.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the players are in the ranks.
Interesting betting trends
- Lyon scored in the last four games.
- In three of the last four matches, the visitors conceded
Approximate composition: Perry – Cumbedi, Mata, Niahate, Tagliafico – Matic, Tessmann – Sherki, Tolisso, Nouama – Lacazette.

1.80Tip and bets
Lyon is well aware that it will be much more difficult to continue playing, so while there is a break in the Europa League, we need to take advantage of the moment and consolidate our position in the top 6. Unlike the home team, the guests have no problems with the squad, so we expect that the best players will appear on the field, who will be able to win a second consecutive victory in the national championship.
Our forecast is that Lyon will win with a coefficient of 1.60
Bet on the total
Montpellier scores on a regular basis on their own field. In four of the last five matches, the hosts managed to score at least once, while Lyon left the field without scoring in only one of the last ten meetings. It all comes down to the fact that two opponents can score in 90 minutes of playing time.
Our forecast is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.57
Betting on corners
In face-to-face confrontations, teams try to avoid serving from the corner flag. In the last five games, no more than eight corners per match were served in any meeting. Most likely, this trend will not stop.
Our forecast is a total of less than 8.5 corners in 1.76
