Prediction: 1-2
Nice
Stade de la Mosson will host Saturday’s football game between Montpellier and Nice. La Paillade suffered a dip in form, with the team losing four of their last five league fixtures, and, as a result, the bookies see them as underdogs in Saturday’s clash. All Mamadou Sakho, Stephy Mavididi, Thibault Tamas, and Pedro Mendes are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
Les Aiglons, on the other hand, are enjoying a very successful season, with the team sitting in 2nd place in the standings. Nice did well to shock star-studded PSG at the weekend, and given Montpellier’s poor form, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the visiting side. Both Youcef Atal and Jordan Amavi are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.

Born in Montpellier on December 22, 1991, Teji Savanier is a French footballer who plays for Nimes in the Ligue 1 as a midfielder. Savanier began his senior career at Arles-Avignon and it has to be noted that he played for the club from 2011 to 2015.

The 171-cm tall midfielder has established himself as a first-team regular at Nimes and he successfully plays for the club in the French top flight. Savanier’s main position is central midfield, but he is used as an attacking midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right.
Despite producing fine performances for Nimes in all competitions, Teji Savanier has yet to receive a call-up for the French national football team. His contract with Nimes should expire on June 27, 2018.
