Lorient vs. Montpellier Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Lorient vs. Montpellier

Two of Ligue 1’s early-season exciting teams will face off at the Stade du Moustoir on Sunday as Lorient plays host to Montpellier HSC.

Both teams have scored more goals than the current top two teams, yet they find themselves positioned near the bottom of the standings in Ligue 1.

Lorient’s recent Ligue 1 matches have indeed been goal-filled, with the last four producing an astonishing total of 20 goals. However, it’s worth noting that it’s been almost six hours of game time since Lorient last scored a home goal against Montpellier.

Despite the abundance of goals recently, Lorient hasn’t been in good form, suffering another defeat last week with a 5-3 loss to Nantes. Interestingly, it was the first time in 13 years that they scored three goals in a match and still ended up losing.

What to remember – Lorient vs. Montpellier

Both teams have displayed a penchant for finding the back of the net regularly this season. However, their vulnerability in defense has placed them in the precarious position of potentially facing relegation early on.

Both sides have also exhibited a tendency to settle for draws throughout the current season, and it wouldn’t be surprising if this trend continues, thereby extending Montpellier’s impressive record of remaining undefeated in this particular fixture for 14 consecutive matches.
