It remains to be seen how Lyon will come back from a moral point of view.
Lyon: Form of the moment, latest results, statistics
Lyon finds himself in the 3rd position of the Ligue 1 ranking before this game, with 50 points accumulated in 28 stages. The key host of the hosts is the Frenchman M. Dembele, who managed to score 11 times and give 2 decisive passes in the championship. Lyon does not cross the best period, and the morale of the players is definitely on the ground, after the humiliation suffered in the turn of the finals of the UEFA Champions League final, 5-1 on the Barcelona side. Although they hoped, after the 2-0 goal scored for the Catalans, they were decimated by Messi & co. in the last half hour. In the championship, the hosts scored a previous draw, 2-2 on the field at Strasbourg. Lyon lost the last time in his own championship against Rennes in December 2018.
Montpellier: Form of the moment, latest results, statistics
Montpellier is ranked 7th in the first French league, with 42 points after the 28 rounds played. Frenchman A. Delort is the best player of the guests with 10 goals scored in the championship and 6 decisive passes. The guests come in this trip with a fairly good moral, managing to avoid defeat in the last two stages. They defeated Bordeau 2-1 with a score of 2-1, and the previous round ended in a home match with Angers, score 2-2. The guests managed to get the last time on this field in a championship match in November 2015, ending with a score of 2-4.

Lyon vs Montpellier Picks
Montpellier is a team that scores quite often, having 7 goals scored in the last 4 stages. On the other hand, Lyon can blame the fatigue after the New Camp, so I expect the hosts to have a difficult game. Today guests need a positive result to hope for European seats and are not allowed to go home.
Our Prediction: 2
Odds: 1.66
