Montpellier
Nice is in an excellent position to extend their unbeaten run to five games. Their home form is even more impressive—a 10-match streak without a loss—making them a formidable force on their own turf. They've convincingly defeated top-six teams, winning 2–0 against Marseille, 3–2 over Rennes, 2–1 against Monaco, and drawing 1–1 with PSG.
With a perfect home record and a remarkable goal difference of 25:9, Nice emerges as the clear favorite against a Montpellier side struggling with injuries. Montpellier is missing three key defenders and is further hampered by an eight-player injury list. Their away form is among the worst, with just one win in ten matches and a goal difference of 5:23. Additionally, the sale of their main striker Adams and winger Tamari has further weakened their attacking options.
What we say
Nice to Win
Nice, the third-best home team with only 9 goals conceded, will face the second-worst team in the league, which has conceded a staggering 23 goals. With key injuries to their starting right-back Sagnan, center-back Jullien, and left-back Sylla, Montpellier is further weakened. We anticipate a dominant performance from the home side, who will look to bounce back after recent dropped points to Marseille. A win here would give Nice a crucial opportunity to move into the top three.
