Lille and Montpellier meet in a match of the stage with the number 18 of Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, from 19:45, on Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
Lille has an excellent track record in the current Ligue 1 season. Christophe Galtier’s team has the strongest record in terms of matches played on its own ground, with seven wins and two draws. On Friday I receive the visit of Montpellier, one of the three teams this season in Ligue 1 who has not yet managed to win a away victory (five draws and three defeats).
-Lille is unbeaten in the last three straight duels with Montpellier;
-In the 13 direct confrontations on this field, the guests were imposed only once (8 victories for the hosts);
-In 8 of the 13 direct matches on this field were scored maximum two goals;
Lille comes to this match after three wins in a row in Ligue 1, all with the same score, 1-0. Montpellier is the type of formation that can achieve remarkable results, but not on the move, but on its own ground. Given the figures recorded by the two teams, especially Lille, we expect a game in which the hosts will manage to win all three points.
PREDICTION: Lille to win @ 1,85
