Montpellier, Recent FormMontpellier will not be too troubled by their 2-0 away defeat against Monaco, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They achieved 36% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Monaco's tally of 27 efforts at goal, 9 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Michel Der Zakarian will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Akor Adams will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 7 goals in Montpellier's 14 league games this season.
Lens, Recent FormLast time out, Lens left content aftera 3-2 home win against Lyon They came away from that fixture with a 52% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Lyon, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
Manager Franck Haise will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 11 goals. They've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 9 games in a row.

Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
