Montpellier- Lyon: forecast and bet on the match of the 1st round of the French championship

Rate: Lyon’s victory on corners with a handicap (-1) for 1.90.

“Montpellier” in the match of the 1st round was a guest of “Rennes”, which in the last truncated season performed extremely confidently. And lost with the score 1: 2. in Fact, the guests had little chance there, because they were outnumbered by the end of the first half. Ten of them didn’t catch on.

But in the last game, the “paladins” took on a strong “nice” and managed to win (3: 1). Here I must say that the result is absolutely natural. The visitors had possession of the ball, but could not squeeze anything out of it. And the hosts made 20 shots at the opponent’s goal, 13 of which were on target. Amazing numbers.

Lyon started slightly better. In two games, it turned out to score four out of six possible points. This allows you to be close to the group of leaders in the standings. First, the “weavers” on their field broke the modest ” Dijon “(4:1), and then could not crack the defense of” Bordeaux”, rolling a zero draw. However, there were plenty of opportunities. The Girondins managed to hit Lyon’s goal only five times, all of them missing. Lyon responded with 20, three of them on target.

It is clear why the bookmakers consider the guests the favorite. The attack group and its leader Memphis Depay are now fine. You should not forget about the difference in class, but you can still feel it. Especially the “lions” after a bright performance in the Champions League on top.

It is likely that they will try to play the first number, take the ball under their control and lay siege to the opponent’s goal. Now they need to score points, while arch-rival PSG have serious personnel problems, disqualifications and a noticeable decline.

In the previous two rounds, Lyon earned as many as 18 corners. In our opinion, in the game with Montpellier, we should also expect a bulk in the performance of the Lyons. With these layouts, P2 on corners with a handicap (-1) for a coefficient of 1.90 looks great.”
