Prediction: 1-1
Lyon
Montpellier and Olympique Lyon go head to head at Stade de la Mosson in the Ligue 1 round 15. La Paillade aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Rennes, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Les Gones. Important midfielder Teji Savanier, though, is banned for the match, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. Both Thibault Tamas and Pedro Mendes are out of contention with injuries.
Lyon, on the other hand, have been performing below expectations in the 2021/2022 Ligue 1 campaign. Les Gones aim to move closer to the Champions League berth, and seeing that Montpellier are a real force to be reckoned with at home, both teams to score betting option should be considered. All Damien Da Silva, Leo Dubois, Lenny Pintor, and Jeff Reine-Adelaide are out of contention with injuries.

Commonly referred to as Lyon, Olympique Lyonnais is the French club which play their games at the Parc Olimpique Lyonnais with a capacity just a pinch short of 60,000. Lyon is one of the most popular clubs in France with a vast fan base on par with Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille.
The club achieved moderate success during the 1960s and 1970s led by the likes of Bernard Lacombe and Jean Djorkaeff, while the golden era of the French side came at the start of the new millennium when Lyon began to achieve greater success both in France and on the international level.
