Prediction: 1-1
Montpellier
Friday’s football game between Nice and Montpellier will open Ligue 1 round 25. Les Aiglons do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team failing to win the previous five league matches, but they are still seen as favourites to beat La Paillade in front of home fans. Midfielder Youssouf Ndayishimiye is back from suspension, while all Valentin Rosier, Morgan Sanson, and Sofiane Diop are sidelined with injuries.
The visitors, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Metz 3-0, losing to Marseille, while sharing the spoils with Strasbourg. Montpellier are eager to escape the relegation zone and seeing that they will go for a win in Friday’s encounter as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Modibo Sagnan is banned for the match, while all Becir Omeragic, Axel Gueguin, and Christopher Jullien remain in the recovery room.
