Lyon
Lyon’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Reims will give them a confidence boost heading into their next match.
After a run of disappointing results, Lyon finally secured a convincing win in Ligue 1, bringing them within just four points of the Champions League places. Their motivation to keep winning is high, especially in away matches, where they are looking to end a four-game winless streak.
Montpellier, meanwhile, have picked up two wins in their last five games—rare positives in a difficult season. However, they remain six points adrift of safety, leaving them with plenty of work to do.
Adding to their challenge, they recently sold their top scorer, Adams, to Sevilla and replaced him with Andy Delort. While Delort has experience, he managed just eight goals in nearly three seasons in Saudi Arabia and is yet to find his form in Ligue 1.
What we say
Lyon to Win
Montpellier has the league’s worst defensive record, conceding 25 goals in just 11 home matches. This presents a prime opportunity for Lyon’s attacking trio—Cherki, Lacazette, and Mikautadze—who have combined for 15 goals and 9 assists this season.
Adding to Lyon’s advantage, they have won their last three away matches against Montpellier. Given their recent resurgence and the stakes at hand, another valuable victory here could propel them into a strong position for the remainder of the campaign, keeping their European football ambitions well within reach.
