Lille - Montpellier Prediction, Picks and Tips
Lille is still unstoppable in Ligue 1 and has just added its fifth consecutive win, taking full possession of the second place (direct qualification to the group stage of the Champions League) with 6 points of advantage over Lyon, its closest pursuer. In their most recent location, the 'canes' did not have problems to comfortably overcome Niza, one of the teams that best defends the event. For now the young defender Gabriel has been consolidating with José Fonté in the central defense.
Up, Pepé does not stop scoring. Meanwhile, Montpellier is another of those who do an outstanding job although several recent draws have not allowed him to take off from the fifth place. The 'gang' did not lose in the last 5 days, equaling in 4 of these and against rivals that are in the relegation zone as Dijon and Monaco. The highlight of this team is that it has the second less beaten defense of the French league although working that aspect has reduced the weight in attack.
There were less than 3.5 goals the last 12 times they faced each other (7 wins from Lille and 2 wins from the opponent). Loic Remy comes from scoring in the last two matches of Lille entering the final 15 minutes. The last 8 Montpellier visits had less than 3.5 goals.
