Nice - Montpellier predictions

Though we can call Nice the favourites in this matchup, Montpellier are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

It’s highly unlikely that Montpellier will manage to get some points this round. Nice are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

The home team are coming off of a close away defeat at Toulouse. That latest match was a decent opportunity to earn some points towards the Ligue 1 campaign, and they even took a lead at first. The second half was not as kind to them, though, ending in 2:1.

Montpellier are here on the back of an undecided match against Strasbourg. The odds were in Montpellier’s favour, though, and they were the hosts – which means that the draw result was a disappointment.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

This matchup has been consistently ending in a draw throughout the current season. Nice played against Montpellier on several occasions in multiple different competitions, and never managed to gain the upper hand despite being considered favourites.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 2.10 at William Hill.
