Olympique Lyonnais Montpellier betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Lyon is a strong team and is in the first positions of the league. Moreover, they have been very strong at their stadium, where they have a record of 4 consecutive wins. On the contrary, Montpellier is in bottom half of the table and hasn’t won a single away match yet: in 6 away matches they have lost 3 and tied another 3. Therefore, Lyon is clearly the favourite, so a bet in their favour is of good value.

In the last match, they won in a home match against Reims, by (3‑1).
