Montpellier HSC vs RC Lens - 08/12/2023
4559
On Friday night, Montpellier hosts Lens at the Stade de la Mosson as the home team looks to steer clear of the Ligue One relegation zone.
The home team is currently in 13th place in the French top-flight table, only a point above the relegation play-off spot, and three clear of the automatic relegation berths.
Montpellier’s lowly position in the table is mainly due to a five-game winless run in Ligue One, consisting of two draws and three defeats.
The fact that they have failed to score in three of their last five league matches has not helped their chances of picking up results.
Michel der Zakarian’s team have not even been able to turn home advantage into winning form, as Montpellier has won just one Ligue One match in nine outings at the Stade de la Mosson.
However, their recent home league games have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their previous eight home matches.
Les Sang et Or are in sixth place in the Ligue One table, having enjoyed an excellent recent run of form in the French top flight.
The visitors are now just five points adrift of the Champions League play-off berth in the league.
Lens’ recent league form has been particularly impressive, as they are unbeaten in their previous nine matches in Ligue One, having recorded six wins and three draws.
One of the key areas for Lens in the good recent league form has been their defensive displays, as they have kept clean sheets in five of their last six Ligue One games.
Lens are unbeaten in their previous four away games in Ligue One, having kept four straight clean sheets on their travels.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Lens will boost their top-four hopes with a victory in a low-scoring affair.
