Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-0
Lens
Stade de la Mosson will host Saturday’s football game between Montpellier and Lens, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Ligue 1 standings. Montpellier aim to put an end to their dreadful winless run, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. First-choice goalkeeper Jonas Omlin, who was sent off in the 4-0 loss to PSG, is sidelined through suspension. Lens, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat to Nice.
Franck Haise’s troops are eager to move a little closer to the Europa League berth, but seeing that Montpellier want this win more than Lens, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. The likes of Bade, Jean, and Traore are all likely to miss Saturday’s showdown through injuries, with Banza and Fofana pushing for a start.

Based in the Pas-De-Calais department, Lens is a French club that plays home games at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. The Sang et Or are well known for their red shirts with yellow stripes, while black is the dominant colour of their away jersey.
