Montpellier vs Lens Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

La Paillade desperate for a win, to face Lens next in the French League.

Montpellier will be hosting Lens in Matchday 19 of Ligue 1 2024-25. La Paillade are in the relegation zone as they have been able to win just four matches out of their 19 played in the league this season. Lens still have a chance to make it to the Champions League spot for next season. They are residing at the seventh spot in the league table.

Montpellier are showing a fight back in recent games as they have won the last two of two Ligue 1 matches. They secured a close 2-1 win over Toulouse after Othmane Maamma scored the late match-winning goal. Modibo Sagnan also scored a goal in the match. They can make a strong comeback and increase their winning streak to three matches in the league.
