Lyon, Recent FormThe Lyon squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Strasbourg, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. During that encounter they had 65% possession and had 23 attempts on goal with 7 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 8 shots on goal.
Whilst manager Laurent Blanc will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 12 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 13 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Winning 4 and being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games at Groupama Stadium, marks a good spell of home form for Lyon.
Alexandre Lacazette will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Groupama Stadium, having notched up 9 goals for Lyon in their last 6 league matches at home.
Montpellier, Recent FormA 2-2 draw and a point gained against Havre AC in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Montpellier last time out. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Havre AC's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Whilst manager Michel Der Zakarian will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 12 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 17 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
It's been a mixed run of form for Montpellier recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Elye Wahi will be hoping to create problems for Lyon in this one, having scored 7 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Montpellier.
It was not a positive ending for Montpellier last time they met Lyon in the league, with the game ending in a 5-4 defeat.
Lyon will be confident of finding the net in this one against La Paillade, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 6 encounters between the two sides. In their last 3 away league games against Les Gones, Montpellier have conceded a total of 11 goals and that's an average of 3.67 per game. Goals come easy for Montpellier when they travel to Les Gones, having recorded 8 goals in their past 3 visits and an impressive average of 2.67 goals per match.
Lyon will be looking to continue their winning streak against Montpellier having won in their last 4 meetings in the league.
Alexandre Lacazette will be looking forward to this meeting with Montpellier, the Lyon player has found the net 6 times in the previous 3 league matches against them at Groupama Stadium.
With only Anthony Lopes (Head) and Dejan Lovren (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Laurent Blanc will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Montpellier manager Michel Der Zakarian ahead of this clash, with Théo Sainte-Luce (Thigh) missing out, which gives Der Zakarian a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
