Montpellier vs RC Lens Prediction: With both teams playing attacking football, expect more corners as both defences will be made to work

Both teams have quality players but each team will play to achieve a different task. The away team will be hoping to win to maintain their dream of playing in Europe's elite club competition while Montpellier will be hoping to move up the League table and possibly gain qualification for European football next season. Due to this, both teams will be playing attacking football. With both defences on alert, we expect more corners from this match and a potential goal from both teams. 

With a run of 6 defeats from 7 matches played, Montpellier deemed it necessary to change managers. The second spell for Der Zakarian seems to have worked magic for Montpellier. Montpellier for the first time this year have won 2 consecutive matches played. Montpellier have accrued 26 points from 24 matches played and is 7 points off the relegation zone. At home, Montpellier have scored 16 but conceded 24 in Ligue 1 matches played. 

The season began with Lens losing just 1 of the 20 matches placed. In these matches, Lens won a remarkable 13 games played while drawing 7. After this spectacular form, Lens was considered a title contender. However, a dip in form resulted in 4 games without a win. Hence, Lens lost pace with other title contenders. A win for Lens will take them closer to the League leaders who are 8 points above Lens. 

Both teams will be playing for the win. Montpellier will be hoping to win to establish some consistency under the new coach while Lens will be playing for the win to reduce the gap at the top. In this, we expect goals from both sides and more corners as both sides are going to attack. Below are the bets to be considered. 

• Over 9.5 corners for 1.96 (betking);
• BTTS for 1.86 (1xbet);
• 1X for 1.96 (bet365)
