Nice vs Montpellier Prediction & Betting Tips (8 March)

While it has been on the podium since the start of the season, OGC Nice has just fallen out of the box and it now finds itself in 5th position in the ranking, 2 units from 3rd which is none other than its neighbor and rival, AS Monaco. Long very solid defensively, the Gym was undoubtedly in overdrive during the first part of the season but it has no longer managed to be as impervious since the winter break. Consequently, the Aiglons have just aligned 4 maths without the slightest victory. Defeated twice by Monaco 2-3 and Lyon 1-0, the Azuréens were able to correct things slightly by drawing with Clermont 0-0 before falling again last weekend against Toulouse 2-1. opposite, in Montpellier, we have the right to worry when approaching the last 10 days of the season.

Despite a rather decent start to the exercise, the MHSC has completely exploded in flight to the point of finding itself today in 16th place in the ranking and therefore being virtually in a jump-off position, just a short distance behind the first not relegable. Much too average for months, especially away from home, Michel Der Zakarian's men were still able to largely dominate FC Metz 3-0 before falling to Marseille 4-1. Finally, last Sunday, the Héraultais snatched a small point at home by drawing with Strasbourg 2-2.

Midfielder Beka Beka will once again be missing this Friday evening. The interesting but fragile Sofiane Diop and starting midfielder Sanson will also have to give up taking part in this meeting in the same way as winter recruit Rosier. Good news, however, for coach Farioli with the return of his defensive Swiss army knife from suspension Ndayishimiye. Quite discreet since his return from the CAN, the Ivorian striker Boga (3 goals, 2 assists) has still not found the fault in 2024 unlike the Nigerian Moffi (7 goals, 2 assists in L1) who scored his team's only goal last weekend. The interesting Laborde (4 goals) and the center forward Guessand (4 goals) should also appear in the group. For this match, Michel Der Zakarian will have to deal with a few absences such as that of the central defender Jullien, the important Omeragic and the young striker Gueguin (18 years old) who are still on the floor at the moment.

In addition to this, recently recruited defender Sagnan will be suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Left at the disposal of the reserve last weekend, defender Sacko could take the opportunity to find the group. Author of a great start to the season, Akor Adams is now in difficulty and he has not scored since the end of October. Against Strasbourg, it was winger Nordin who stood out by scoring twice. With 5 goals on the clock, he joined playmaker Savanier (5 goals, 6 assists) and he is now ahead of the Jordanian Al-Taamari (4 goals) in the scorers' ranking.
