Lille vs Montpellier Betting Tips

Lille vs Montpellier Prediction 1: Lille to Win

To put it lightly, Lille's Ligue 1 championship defense has been lackluster, and they might be in for more disappointment when Montpellier visits on Sunday. With a 1-0 Trophee des Champions victory over Paris Saint-Germain, Les Dogues kicked off the new season and Jocelyn Gourvennec's coaching career in impressive fashion. Yet, since then, things have only gotten worse.

Lille vs Montpellier Betting Tips

In three games, Lille has a winless record, two draws, and one loss. In their lone home match so far, Nice, managed by Christophe Galtier's predecessor, destroyed Lille 4-0.

Lille vs Montpellier Prediction 2: Both teams to score

Montpellier's record thus far has been uneven, with wins, draws, and losses, although they have been on a three-goal scoring streak in each of their games. A double chance wager on Montpellier may sound alluring given that La Paillade has drawn three of their past four games at the Pierre-Mauroy, but my major pick in this game is both teams to score. Despite Lille's failure to score against Nice, they have managed five goals in their first four games, while both sides have scored in each of the visitors' three previous matches.
