Montpellier vs Lorient Predictions

Montpellier entertain Lorient in Ligue 1 on Sunday and the hosts can claim their first win of the new season after two near misses.

Montpellier managed to throw a 2-0 lead away against Marseille in their opener, and then conceded a late equaliser in a 3-3 draw with Reims last time out.

Lorient drew with Saint Etienne and then managed a 1-0 win over Monaco in their last fixture.  There was more than a hint of smash and grab about that victory though, Les Merlus managed just two shots but somehow held out despite having just 28% of the possession as Monaco managed just three attempts on target from 12 in total.

Montpellier have scored five goals in their two games so far, so I think a 2-0 win for the hosts looks a good bet in the correct score market.
