Montpellier have won just once in their last nine matches, but they head to this clash against Lille on a run of five unbeaten matches and they will be hoping to improve on the four draws they have managed in the last five matches. Taking on a Lille side with five straight wins in Ligue 1 and just one loss in the last five matches will prove an uphill task though. Lille have scored 13 goals in the last five Ligue 1 matches, in each of the matches, netting two or more goals while they have managed two clean sheets in the process, and when they have conceded, it has not been more than a goal, a depiction of their defensive superiority and the same will be on offer when Montpellier visit Stade Pierre – Mauroy. Lille have picked 10 wins and lost once in their last 15 home games in Ligue 1 and heads to this clash on two back to back wins at home in the league. Montpellier have two clean sheets in their last 12 matches and without an away win in their last five matches, they will be firm underdogs in this clash. They have one win in eight Ligue 1 matches and winless in the last four away games in the league but having scored in 10 of their last 13 away league matches, they will have something to take to this clash. Lille have won four of the last seven meetings between the two sides, while Montpellier have two wins, with one game ending in a draw then four yielding over 2.5 goals.
