Lille hosts Montpellier in round 18 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, December 13th at Stade Pierre-Mauroy (Villeneuve d'Ascq)
The hosts were extremely unsuccessful in the Champions League, but the game with Chelsea in England will certainly take some strength away. The Danes gained three consecutive victories in the Ligue 1 and climbed to the third line, but all those victories were won in sparing mode and only with a minimum goal difference. In general, Lille cannot be called a productive team even on its pitch, although the team plays very well in front of its fans. However, the team gained only one victory with a difference of more than one goal in the last ten matches.

Der Zakarian’s team can fight on equal terms with leaders for a certain period, as the last match with PSG showed. There was not enough attention in defense. And of course, the red card affected. Well, conclusions will be made, but Montpellier is still one of the best teams in terms of defensive game and gains points with the leaders regularly. Yes, the performance in foreign fields can be a minus and this is already traditional, but there are some changes for the better in the attack.
The defeat to PSG is more predictable than not. It is so far the only one in eight rounds. The Paladins alternate victories with draw results. Head-to-head meetings often take place in a bitter struggle and Lille has no advantage. I would suggest an equal fight in which there will be no obvious favorite. In 2019, the visitors lost with a difference of more than one goal on the road only twice - Nantes and PSG.
Prediction for the match: Montpellier to win with +1.0 handicap
