Nice vs Montpellier Prediction & Betting Tips (23 February)

Nice follows PSG and Marseille in the classification. His 3rd place is the difference in goals and would allow him at the end of the season to ensure direct qualification for the Champions League. The Aiglons have just won their last 2 games in this exercise in front of Lens 2-0 and Le Havre 1-3. On the other hand, they can feed regrets to have been eliminated at the start of the month by the National Briochin Stadium 2; 2-1, in the round of 16 of the French Cup. This outcome, combined at their exit from road in the Europa League, will allow them to benefit from full weeks of preparation for the last championship games.

 Montpellier remains on 3 defeats and does not have the ingredients to leave his last position in the ranking. The Hérault club, defeated without scoring by Lens 0-2 and Strasbourg 2-0, has just been crushed on its lawn by Lyon 1-4. Beaten 15 times in 22 days, the MHSC presents the worst defense of the elite, with 52 goals conceded. A relegation is taking shape a little more, Montpellier 6 points behind the first non -relegation club and 3 on the barragist. 

The suspensions are to be taken into account at the moment in Nice. While the tauliers Ndayishimiye and Boudaoui served their sanction, it is the turn of the defender holder Bard to have to put himself aside for this reason. Moffi and Sanson, seriously injured for several months, have resumed the path of collective training but are not yet ready to find the competition. Placardated in Rennes, Santamaria joined the Aiglons this winter and became a holder in the midfield. On the other hand, the workforce lost the replacements Ilie and Camara. Scorer on the last 3 championship matches, Laborde has just equaled the total of the Guessand teammate in the exercise. The two attackers scored 9 goals each. The Montpellier workforce is decimated, more particularly in defense.

While the Centrals Jullien and Maksimovic are long -standing, other executives have to stay on the side. This is the case of the left side Sylla and the Omeragic central, seriously injured, and Sagnan, suspended. The young Dzodic, who can help out at the back, is also forfeited. These unavailability forced Jean-Louis Gasset to associate the winter recruit Meïté in Mouanga in the central hinge against Lyon. Above, the young Maamma (1 goal), Guegin and Issoufou complete the list of packages. Andy Delort returned to the club this winter but has not yet marked. The Algerian international's mission will be to carry the MHSC in attack, a sector left Nordin, Tamari and Adams.
