Nice vs Montpellier Prediction

Nice Form

It is neither good nor disastrous for Nice with just two points from their last three matches. They first drew 1-1 against Lyon, followed by another draw. This time 0-0 against Lens, before going down in a 2-1 defeat against Rennes. Nice managed to win two of their past six home matches in the Ligue 1. In the remaining four, they drew two and lost two, as they scored five and conceded five goals.

In a season where everything simply clicks, Nice might even reach the upper third of the table but right now, they are on course for a solid mid-table finish.

Montpellier Form

Few people saw Montpellier at the fun end of the table this season, but they are displaying a great form right now.

Montpellier could find it tough to break down the defensive barriers put up by Nice at Allianz Riviera on Wednesday. The home side doesn't score much themselves, though, and we aim for the under 2.5 goals betting market.
