Nice v Montpellier predictions and betting tips

Nice are currently in 15th position with one win, one draw, and one loss. They started the season with a difficult away match against Lyon, and lost it 4-0. Then they bounced back and got the only win so far, beating Rennes 2-1 at home. Their last league match was away to Ajaccio, a match that ended in a goalless draw, it was a match where Nice had the most possession (58%), ten attempts (Ajaccio 5) and only two shots on target (Ajaccio also 2). Nice have also played Europa League qualification against Apollon Limassol, but they rather disappointedly lost on aggregate so did not advance to the group stage.

Montpellier are two places above Nice, on 13th position, and they also have one win, one draw, and one loss. They had a difficult season opener as well, hosting PSG in the first match. They managed a draw 1-1, despite having only 30% possession and six attempts (one on target). Then they met Monaco away in the second match, and lost it 4-1. Their last match was a much better affair, they hosted Sochaux and won it 2-1 after having the most possession (63%), attempts (12-9) and shots on target (4-2). Sochaux got a man sent off after 74 minutes when the result was 1-1, and Montpellier managed to take the win after a goal in 90th minute by defender Tiene.

Nice v Montpellier predictions

Last season this fixture ended with 2-0 to Nice, the goals coming in the 12th and 24th minute. The teams had equal possession, Montpellier had one more attempt (10 versus 9), but Nice had three shots on target whereas Montpellier had none. Nice had the highest rated players in that match, and man of match was their central defensive midfielder Digard. The two teams have met 23 times in total, Montpellier wining 12, 6 were tied, and Nice won 5. If you look at the last ten encounters then Nice have only won once against Montpellier.

Nice will still be without several players: midfielder Traore (played in two matches this season), forward Pentecote (not played this season), forward Maupay (not played this season), midfielder Dao Castellana (not played this season), goalie Veronese (not played this season), midfielder Bruins (came in as sub in season opener), and defender Pejcinovic (not played this season). Montpellier will be without the following players: goalie Jourdren (played the season opener), midfielder Saihi (has not played this season), midfielder Fana (has not played this season), and defender Bocaly (has not played this season). In addition defender Congre is out due to red card (he has played two matches, was sent off in the second match).

Nice v Montpellier betting tips for 1x2

These two teams both have hopes of qualifying for European competitions this season, but they really need to improve their play if they are to achieve that. It looks like a pretty even match. But most importantly Montpellier are in very poor away form and they have lost their last seven Ligue 1 away matches. Nice on the other hand, are solid at home, and are undefeated in the last 17 of 19 Ligue 1 home matches. I therefore bet Nice Draw No Bet at 4/7 (1.57) with Coral.
