Prediction: 0-1
Nice
Montpellier find themselves rooted to the bottom of the Ligue 1 table, and their woes deepened after a 2-0 defeat against Lens over the weekend. La Paillade's attack has lacked attacking potential, and the absence of forward Tanguy Coulibaly through suspension only compounds their struggles. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Nice.
Nice, on the other hand, continue to show their ambitions for a top-four finish. Les Aiglons claimed a 2-1 victory over Le Havre last time out, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Defender Yael Nandjou is expected to recover in time to bolster Francesco Farioli’s resilient backline, further strengthening the visitors' prospects. Given Montpellier’s current struggles and Nice’s solid form, an away victory seems likely. Taking everything into account, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match.
