Prediction: 1-2
Lyon
After rolling over Reims 4-0 in their last league match, Olympique Lyon will look to keep on climbing the standings when they face Montpellier on Matchday 22. Les Gones want to stay in the Champions League race and we are positive that they will go for a win in Sunday’s showdown. Sael Kumbedi is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, while Orel Mangala continues to miss out. Alexandre Lacazette should recover in time to face La Paillade.
Montpellier, meanwhile, aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Strasbourg. Even though Jean-Louis Gasset’s men are tough to beat at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Nemanja Matic and Co. as they produced a brilliant performance against Reims. Swiss defender Becir Omeragic should miss out with injury for the home team, while both Nikola Maksimovic and Christopher Jullien remain on the sidelines.

Born in Montpellier on December 22, 1991, Teji Savanier is a French footballer who plays for Nimes in the Ligue 1 as a midfielder. Savanier began his senior career at Arles-Avignon and it has to be noted that he played for the club from 2011 to 2015.
Ahead of the start of the 2015/2016 Ligue 2 campaign, Teji Savanier joined Nimes and he has been playing for the club ever since. The 171-cm tall midfielder has established himself as a first-team regular at Nimes and he successfully plays for the club in the French top flight. Savanier’s main position is central midfield, but he is used as an attacking midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right.
Despite producing fine performances for Nimes in all competitions, Teji Savanier has yet to receive a call-up for the French national football team. His contract with Nimes should expire on June 27, 2018.
Highlighted Team (Lyon):
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.
It was not until 2002 that Lyon won their first ever Ligue 1 title which sparked an ongoing national record-breaking streak of seven successive titles. During that time Lyon were regular participants of the UEFA Champions League. The French club reached quarter-finals on two occasions, while they even played in the semi-finals in the 2009-10 season.
