Lille looks the obvious favourite in this clash, especially the Dogs need points now, as the team is still in 5th place, 2 points behind the top-4. But now Lille in parallel still plays with Borussia, and there the French club has a good chance to reach the quarter-finals, as the first game in Germany ended with a score of 1:1.
Montpellier are likely to drop out of Ligue 1, the team has only 15 points after 24 rounds, although the gap from the 17th place is 7 points, there is still a chance. But Montpellier are in terrible form - 5 defeats in a row with a total score of 1:14.
Lille are the nominal favourites today, but the team will be saving their strength for the return match with Borussia, so don't expect a lot of goals today, as Montpellier score few.
Prediction: 2 goals to be scored or fewer. We recommend the “Under 2.5” bet, odds 2.22
