TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

A really critical game will take place in the Marcel-Picot stadium, where Nancy, currently 19^th of the Ligue 1, will host Montpellier, the very surprising champion who is unable to assume its new status. They are having a very disappointing start with only one win, 2 draws and 3 losses, making them only one point away from the relegation zone. They lost Olivier Giroud to Arsenal this summer, and we now see how important he was, not only for his goals, but also for his ability to keep the ball and create space in the opponent’s defense. Their new striker, Herrera, hasn’t shown much so far, and Souleymane Camara who is supposed to be his substitute is now playing more and more.

Nancy are also in an emergency situation as they won their opening game, 1-0 at home against Brest, then drew, and are now on a run of 4 losses. Their objective, like every season, will be to stay in the top division, but this should be tight and I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t manage to do so this year.

1X2 BET NANCY - MONTPELLIER PREVIEW

Montpellier are seen as favorites, even though they are the away team. Their odd reaches 2.5 with Pinnacle. The draw is @ 3.2 with William Hill, and a home win is set @ 3.22 with Pinnacle. I think Montpellier should take this opportunity to take points, as Nancy are in total lack of confidence, and even though Montpellier is struggling, their team is by far better as their host’s one.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTIONS

The Asian handicap is set at Nancy +0.25 @ 1.78 with BetVictor, and Montpellier -0.25 @ 2.19 with 188bet. I would go for Montpellier -0.25 because the odd is interesting, and the content of their games has been much better lately, especially against Arsenal in Champion’s League in a home 1-2 loss.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTIONS

As often in the Ligue 1, the under 2.5 goals is around 1.55.  The maximum odd you will find for the Under is at 1.57 with Stan James. The over has an odd of 2.5 with William Hill. Nancy played home three times, and the score has always been 1-0 or 0-1. Montpellier has played away 3 times, for 3 Over 2.5 goals. It’s a speculative bet, so if you really want to play on this market, the value is on the Over’s side.
