Montpellier vs Lens Soccer Betting Tips – Ligue 1
When will Montpellier’s bad patch stop? Used to places of honour and for a long time fighting for European places alongside the champions of the championship this season again, the Hérault club is now 11th and has not won for 7 matches. His last success was on December 12, on the lawn of RC Lens (3-2), which will be, luckily enough, his future opponent this Saturday! At La Mosson, Michel Der Zakarian’s men will therefore try to revive, because, with 28 points and a series of 7 consecutive games without the slightest victory, the gap is widening with 5th place (Rennes, 36 points), could quickly become final!
For its part, Lens does not have the same ambitions, the club has just returned to Ligue 1 after 5 seasons spent on the lower level. However, the promoted point in 9th position after 21 days, and even ahead of his next opponent by 3 points! Even if the Sang et Or have alternated hot and cold for a few matches, with a victory in Marseille (1-0) followed by a home defeat against a team from Nice who no longer won (0-1), the Franck Haise’s men will not hesitate to take advantage of the failings of their opponents, the MHSC in the lead!
