Command Analysis
Montpellier
FranceCurrent form
Jean-Louis Gasset has been the head coach of Montpellier for a month and a half, but the team can't get out of the relegation zone, let alone the last line of the ranking. This is the only club in the league that after 14 rounds played has not been able to score even ten points (eight). At the moment, the club is on a three-match winless streak. Given the status and rank of the upcoming opponent, it will be difficult to break the streak of unsuccessful performances and fight for at least one point.
Disqualifications and injuries
Julien, Kouyate, Omeragic, Mincarelli, Issoufou, Fayyad, Saint-Luz, Adams and Chatard are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Montpellier have scored in three of their last five home matches
- The hosts have lost four of the last five matches
Estimated line-up: Lecomte - Sako, Maksimovic, Sanyan, Sylla - Nzingula, Mouton - Al Tamari, Savanier, Norden - Stassin.
Nice
FranceCurrent form
Something strange has been happening with Nice lately. The team is clearly far from its ideal form, having lost four of the last five matches, and have managed to win away from home only once in the last nine meetings. There is a great chance to improve this statistic, since the upcoming opponent is not just at the bottom of the ranking, but in last place. The only thing that is scary is the large number of injured players, but bookmakers still believe in Franck Hes charges, since they are the favorites.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sho, Dante, Ndayshimie, Bard, Mendy, Abdelmonem, Abdi, Sanson, Moffi and Orakpo are injured and will not play.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nice have conceded in five of their last six away games
- The away team has scored in nine games in a row
Approximate line-up: Bulka - Loches, Rosario, Bombito, Kloss - Diop, Budaoui, Ndombele - Bouanani - Laborde, Gessand.

1.76Tip and bets
If it weren't for the huge problems with injured players, the visitors would be the clear favorites. However, bookmakers still believe in Nice, as they put the hosts as underdogs. We agree with this opinion, because Montpellier also has problems with the starting lineup, and they are quite serious. Considering the personnel losses, we are inclined to think that fortune will be on the side of the visitors.
Our prediction is a victory for Nice with odds of 2.29
Bet on total
Both teams are far from ideal in the defensive line. The hosts have conceded in nine of the last ten matches, and the visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet in the last seven matches. All this suggests that after the final whistle there will be no zeros on the scoreboard.
Our prediction is both teams will score with a coefficient of 1.61
Bet on corners
From our description it is clear that the teams will make a lot of mistakes in defense. This means that there is a high probability that the two opponents will be able to make a lot of passes from the corner flag.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.77
