Nîmes - Montpellier betting tips and odds

Nîmes will have to put on their best performance to record a home win against Montpellier. The price of 3.40 indicates a difficult battle and that’s exactly what we expect to see in this match.

With 2.17 odds for an away win, Montpellier have a rather clear path to victory. Still, there’s plenty of room for an upset in a match like this, so other options are still worth considering.

Nîmes are coming off from a narrow 2:1 away defeat in the previous round. The home-field disadvantage and a very difficult match-up against Nice ensured that they spent most of the game trailing behind.

Montpellier haven’t exactly been playing top of their game lately. Last round’s home draw 1:1 against Lorient was far from a disaster, but most of us – including the world’s best online bookmakers – expected a lot more considering they played at home.

Montpellier recorded 7 goals in all 3 of their latest home games. While they don’t have the home-field advantage in this match, an action-packed match seems very likely.

Nîmes have just 1 point between them and the relegation zone. We’re well into the season by now, but there’s still time for the standings to change. At this point, Nîmes’s only goal is to stay ahead of the lower-placed teams, which will be a challenge by itself.

Though most teams are entrenched in their table spots at this point, Montpellier will have to give it their all to reach the Europa League this year. With 4 points still needed, they’ll have their work cut out for them.

Despite their position as favourites, Montpellier already lost this matchup earlier in the season. This bit of information shines a new light on the 2.17 odds which most bookies are offering for their victory.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.65 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as 10Bet.
