Montpellier vs RC Lens Prediction, Betting Tips and Odds | 31 January 2025

The crucial Round 20 clash in Ligue 1 sees Montpellier host RC Lens at Stade de la Mosson, with the hosts struggling in 17th place and fighting to escape the relegation zone, while Lens currently sit seventh and look to keep their European qualification push on track. Montpellier managed a much-needed 2-1 win against Toulouse last time out, but Lens also grabbed three points with a 1-0 victory over Angers. Coupled with key injuries and new signings, this would make for one intriguing tactical affair.

Position: 17th | Record: 4W-3D-12L | Last 5: LLLWW

Montpellier finally put a stop to the three-loss streak with the win over Toulouse 2-1 and through Modibo Sagnan, and Othmane Maamma, after Jean-Louis Gasset's men went behind for a ninth successive game showed some character in a comeback, the victory was at a bit of cost too, as in left-back Issiaga Sylla picked an injury.

Defensive worries persist, meanwhile, as the club has announced Serbian centre-back Nikola Maksimovic since Matchday 16, will miss the rest of the season due to a torn hamstring. Conceding 31 times already this term, Montpellier's backline still looks fragile. They have struggled to impose themselves at home, too, managing just two wins in their last five at Stade de la Mosson.

Key Stats & Trends:

Defense Leaks Goals: Conceded 31 goals this season.

Slow Starters: Conceded first in their last nine matches.

Card Discipline: Under 4.5 cards in six of their last seven games.

Over 2.5 Goals Trend: Five of their last six matches have gone over 2.5 goals.

Position: 7th | Record: 8W-6D-5L | Last 5: DLWLW

Lens responded to a blow of a goalless draw with Nice by managing a hard-fought 1-0 win over Angers through a strike from Przemyslaw Frankowski. Will Still's men bossed the possession with 65% and created two big chances, though an injury to Florian Sotoca casts huge doubts ahead of this fixture.

Lens have been busy in the transfer market, securing AS Roma goalkeeper Mathew Ryan as cover between the posts. They signed talented young defender Juma Bah on loan from Manchester City. On the road, Lens is good, having collected 3W-1D-1L in the last five trips, and they'll go to Montpellier confident of their chances, having not lost to their hosts in six meetings.
