Nice Montpellier Nice- Montpellier
Nice
Suspended: Clerc
Out: Mouloungui, D.Diakité, K.Coulibaly, Palun
Injury: Abriel, Faé, Hellebuyck, Pejcinovic, Pentecôte
Montpellier
Out: Saihi, S. Camara, Belhanda
Both sides are just one step to the edge of the league table- Nice very close to the bottom end and Montpellier- three points from the top. The issues of the teams are completely opposite, but we expect a fighting respond by the hosts. The manager Rene Marsiglia succeeded to maintain his team competitive and the lost match in Brest would make his men dead set against the next rivals. Anthony Mounier should be more focused in shooting.
Many bettors and even Ligue 1 experts wait for the wrong step of Montpellier, which would separate them from the very top of the ranking, but it hasn’t happened yet. The young Cabella is a great help for the top scorer of the league Giroud and it seems the miss of Belhanda and Camara wouldn’t be crucial factor in the game. We could see aggressive actions from the opponents and considering the amazing spirits against Lyon, Montpellier have a slight advantage.
Tip: Bet #1: Both teams to score- Odds: 1.85 Stake: 4/10
Bet #2: Montpellier win by exactly one goal- Odds: 4.00 Stake: 2/10
