Greetings, dear readers and comrades! Today I am eager to share my analysis of the 21st matchday of the French Ligue 1.
Montpellier: Lecomte; Tchato, Jullien, Omeragic, Sagnan, Sylla; Fayad, Chotard, Savanier, Coulibaly; Khazri.
Lyon: Lopes; Mata, Caleta-Car, O'Brien; Maitland-Niles, Matic, Caqueret, Tagliafico; Cherki, Lacazette, Orban.
Begin with Montpellier. They rounded off the previous season in 12th place. At present, the team sits in 13th position in the league table, having pulled in 19 points. In their most recent Ligue 1 match, they bite the dust against Rennes conceding just one goal. They subsequently fell to Nice in the French Cup, with the outcome of 1:4.
Last season saw Lyon reach the 7th spot. Their performance in the current season portrays them as under-performers, they are slumped at 15th in the table. Out of 20 games, they have bagged 5 victories, encountered 4 draws and suffered 11 defeats. The goal statistics highlight 20 goals for and 33 against.
The club's tally stands at 19 points. Their most recent Ligue 1 game awarded them a victory against Marseille, with a singular goal in their favour. They managed to get the best of Lille in the French Cup by a narrow margin.
The teams last crossed paths on the 19th of August in the prior year, Montpellier emerged victorious with a scoreline of 1:4.
Drawing conclusions from the analysis - the teams roost closer to each other in the league table, but perilously near the drop zone. Losing is not an option for either of them, it’s likely to witness a tightly-fought and cautious match. Nonetheless, I perceive a hint of advantage towards Lyon owing to their recent away form. I would place a wager on Lyon to win or draw.
In this fiercely competitive fixture, as has been their habit, I would anticipate a struggle - Total over (TO) 2.5 would be my best bet. I wish all of you luck and a great viewing experience, dear friends!
