Head-to-head statistics Lille - Montpellier
Lille OSC Team Overview
📝 Lille have been showing average form in recent months, but they still remain in the upper part of the table. Their attacking potential is expressed in an average of 2 goals per game. However, the team's defense is not always at its best, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per match.
🔗 Besides their successes in Ligue 1, Lille continues to impress on the international stage. This week, the "dogs" secured a draw in Dortmund (1:1) in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16, significantly increasing their chances of advancing to the quarterfinals.
📣 “We played well. A draw is a very good result ahead of the return match,” concluded Bruno Génésio.
❌ The list of injured players for the hosts remains the same, including four players. Samuel Umtiti and Tiago Santos have been out since last year, while Osame Sahraoui and Edon Zhegrova were sidelined in February. The absence of the Kosovar is particularly painful for the team, as he is one of the leaders in attack.
Match Results: Lille OSC
Montpellier HSC Team Overview
📝 Montpellier is going through a very challenging period. With 8 losses in the last 10 matches and an average scoring rate of just 0.6 goals per game, the "paladins" are on the brink of relegation to Ligue 2. The team is struggling both in attack and defense, conceding an average of 2.4 goals per match. Away games are also not bringing success - 10 of the last 11 away matches have been lost.
🔗 After a brief January surge, Montpellier returned to its roots and stopped not only earning points but also scoring. They have only 1 goal in the last 5 matches. How much longer will Jean-Louis Gasset remain in his position with such results?
❌ In February, Montpellier lost two important players: Issiaga Sylla and Becir Omeragic. Young defender Otman Maamma also got injured. There were also suspensions - Khalil Fayad will not play due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Editor's Prediction
Analyzing the current form and statistics of the teams, Lille appears to be the favorite for the upcoming match. However, their focus is currently on the second leg against Borussia in the UCL, which gives "the Paladins" a chance for success. Our bet is Montpellier to win with a handicap (+1.5), which has been successful in the last 8 consecutive head-to-head matches between the teams at "Pierre Mauroy" in Ligue 1.
