Lorient vs Montpellier Predictions

• Montpellier have won their last three Ligue 1 matches.
• Lorient have picked up just one point from their last four league games.
• Les Merlus have lost three from five at home this season (W1, D1), while the visitors have lost just one of their five away starts (W2, D2).

Montpellier to Maintain Recent Form

Last season’s Ligue 2 champions Lorient have endured a miserable start to life back in the top flight and we’re backing in-form Montpellier to dish out further misery in this weekend’s clash at Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir.

Last weekend’s 4-0 drubbing at Lille was Lorient’s third defeat in four (D1) and the fourth game in succession that Les Merlus have failed to even get themselves on the scoresheet.

The result leaves Christophe Pelissier’s side languishing in 18^th going into this Matchday 12 clash against a Montpellier outfit who have been thriving in recent weeks.

The 2011/12 champions surged up to fourth in the standings after a thrilling 4-3 victory over Strasbourg last weekend and they travel to Brittany in search of their fourth Ligue 1 triumph on the spin.

With Lorient also picking up just a single point from their last four at home and Montpellier winning their last two on the road without conceding, the visitors rate an excellent wager at a shade of odds-against to land the spoils this Sunday, while a 0-2 correct score stands out considering the away side are averaging just under two goals per game and Lorient haven’t scored in 360 Ligue 1 minutes.
