Lyon has been on an impressive run of form, losing just once in their last 11 matches—a 3-1 defeat to PSG.

This positive streak has significantly improved their position in the league standings, bringing them within just 5 points of the coveted third place, which guarantees a spot in next season's Champions League.

Securing that third position has become Lyon’s primary target, and they’ll be motivated to collect every possible point in the upcoming games.

At home, they’ve shown solid form, recording 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last five matches.

Today, Lyon faces Montpellier, who currently sit at the bottom of the standings. Montpellier's away performances have been dismal—they’ve lost all seven of their matches on the road, conceding 19 goals in the process.

Their defensive vulnerabilities and lack of attacking threat make them look out of place in Ligue 1 when playing away from home.

Montpellier’s struggles were further highlighted in their recent humiliating 4-0 loss to Le Puy en Velay, a team from the French third division, in the Cup.
