THE PREDICTION
Montpellier competed well with PSG last weekend despite their defeat and prior to that they had won four straight league games so morale will still be relatively high in the camp ahead of this trip to Lens. The hosts recorded a decent 0-2 win at Rennes last time out but they are prone to inconsistency and occasionally fail to turn up, which makes them a difficult team to predict. They’ve had some trouble on home turf recently, conceding eight goals in their last three matches at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, and with Montpellier having scored in all of their away league matches this season, plus the fact they have scored first in their last four, they can be backed to open the scoring.
