Each team’s starting lineup is based on their last match in this tournament.

Lyon

In Matchday 15, Pierre Sage's side suffered a 1-3 defeat to PSG. This result ended the team's unbeaten streak of nine matches in the league (6 wins, 3 draws). Lyon is in 5th place in the Ligue 1 standings, with Nice trailing by just one point. Notably, the club has scored 27 goals this season – only three teams in the tournament have better records.


  • Lyon scored first in 6 of their last 8 home league matches.
  • Both teams scored in 8 of the last 11 home games in this competition.
  • The club won 7 of their last 10 home Ligue 1 matches.

Montpellier

In the last round, the club drew 2-2 with Nice. A home win against Brest (3-1) remains their only victory in the last 10 matches in this competition (2 draws, 7 losses). Such disappointing results leave the club at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table, with a four-point gap from the playoff zone. Notably, the team has scored only 3 goals in away matches this season – the worst record among all participants.


  • Montpellier has lost their last 7 away league matches.
  • The club failed to score in 5 of their last 7 away Ligue 1 games.
  • One team failed to score in 5 of Montpellier's last 7 away matches in this competition.

Lyon vs. Montpellier: Match Prediction

Lyon has not struggled offensively in home Ligue 1 matches – the club scored in their last 6 games and netted at least twice in 5 of them. However, their defense is less reliable, having failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 of their last 12 home league matches. As a result, at least three goals have been scored in 7 of Lyon's last 10 home games in this competition.


Montpellier's away matches also entertain fans with plenty of goals – at least three goals were scored in 7 of their last 10 away league games. This scoring trend is primarily due to the club's defensive issues – Montpellier conceded in their last 11 away Ligue 1 matches, with opponents scoring at least twice in 6 of them.


Looking at the head-to-head statistics, at least three goals have been scored in the last 5 encounters between these teams at Lyon's ground in the league. I expect both teams to deliver an entertaining and high-scoring match. My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
