Both Teams Score? No
Another crucial aspect to consider is whether both teams will score in this fixture. Given Montpellier’s poor defensive record, having conceded 38 goals this season, and their recent performances, the tip for both teams to score is favorable. However, the statistics suggest that it may not occur in this match, especially with Olympique Lyon’s defense (20 goals conceded) exhibiting resilience. The odds for “No” on both teams scoring stand at 2.27 with Paripesa, making this a compelling betting option.
Under 3.5 Goals
In terms of total goals scored, the prediction is set for under 3.5 goals, which statistically aligns with the trend observed in matches involving Montpellier HSC, who have seen a lack of goal-scoring prowess this season. With Olympique Lyon having secured solid victories while maintaining a measure of defensive discipline, this market offers value with odds for “Under 3.5 goals” being competitive. Consideration of these statistics leads us to believe that the match may conclude with fewer than four goals on the board, aligning with the available odds.
