Lille OSC will face Montpellier in week 31 of the 2022/2023 French League which can be watched via live streaming on beIN Sports on Sunday, April 16 2023, ET.
Lille will look to maintain their chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League by beating Montpellier at home to Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Sunday. They are looking to get back to winning ways after suffering a shock 1-0 loss to relegation-threatened Angers in their previous Ligue 1 outing.
Paulo Fonseca, coach of Lille, criticized the “attitude and ambition” of his players after the loss, not to mention Jonathan David, who has not scored a goal since expressing his desire to move to a “bigger club” last month.
LOSC are currently in fifth place with 52 points, nine points behind third-placed Marseille in the Champions League qualifying standings. They are only two points ahead of Rennes who are in sixth.
Les Dogues are very strong at home, having not lost in an official competition since last August. They have also always won against teams that are 12th or lower in Ligue 1, scoring two or more goals in five of those six wins.
Montpellier also swallowed a bitter pill in their last game, which ended their seven-match unbeaten streak since Michel Der Zakarian returned as their manager. These wins have made Montpellier free from the relegation trap and are in the middle of the table. Der Zakarian must ensure his players stay fired up to keep up their good form.
La Paillade haven’t had too much trouble away from home recently, losing only once in their last five away games, although all of those matches have produced a maximum of two goals. However, the MHSC team haven’t won at Lille since 2011.
Lille and Montpellier have met 40 times in Ligue 1, with Lille winning 19 wins, nine draws and 12 losses. Lille have scored 49 goals and conceded 38 goals in 40 games against Montpellier, averaging just over two goals per game.
Montpellier have scored 38 goals and conceded 49 goals in 40 games against Lille, averaging less than one goal per game. Lille was more prolific in the first half, scoring 29 goals and conceding 16 first half goals in 40 games against Montpellier. Montpellier was more prolific in the second half, scoring 22 goals and conceding 20 second half goals in 40 games against Lille.
Jonathan David will still be a key player for Lille. The Canadian national team players want to bounce back from a decline in performance and score goals as usual in this match. He once scored two goals when Lille won 3-1 over Montpellier in the first match. Meanwhile Elye Wahi will be Montpellier’s mainstay in attack. The player who was born in France 20 years ago is in top condition by being involved in six goals in his last five matches. He also scored the first goal for Montpellier in the previous game.
