Nice vs Montpellier Prediction & Betting Tips (4 February)

The season is difficult for this Nice team which is far from its usual standards. Eliminated in the league phase of the Europa League after its last defeat last week at Ludogorets 1-0, the Gym will be able to concentrate on its national deadlines where it is also struggling in Ligue 1. 13th despite its great victory obtained in Nantes 4-1 10 days ago, the Riviera club will try to follow up against Brest on Sunday. In the Coupe de France, the Aiglons had already got the better of Nantes after a penalty shootout at the beginning of January 1-1, 3-5 TAB. Opposite, Montpellier is playing in Ligue 2 this year after hitting rock bottom in the elite last season.

For the moment, La Paillade is not managing to bounce back as well as it hoped and it finds itself in the soft underbelly of its championship, quite a distance from the top 5 qualifying for the play-offs. Beaten by Dunkerquer 1-3 and by Boulogne 1-0, the Héraultais were then able to recover against Bastia 0-2 before challenging Guingamp on Friday evening. In the Cup, Zoumana Camara's men dismissed Montceau 0-2, Canet en Roussillon 0-1 and FC Metz 0-4 in the previous rounds. 

In the recovery phase, important defenders Ndayishimye and Abdelmonem risk being a little short again this week. The important Bombito is also missing. Return, however, of central defender Bah (holder) who was suspended in the league last weekend. The left side Bard (holder) is uncertain. The attackers Boga and Moffi (2 goals each in L1) are still on sick leave and it is unlikely to see them play again one day in the Nice jersey. Winter recruit Wahi, scorer of 2 goals in his first 3 Ligue 1 matches, should be able to hold his place unlike young Nguene who has packed his bags.

Cho (4 goals in L1) and Diop (7 goals in L1) could also be in the group. On the MHSC side, Zoumana Camara risks approaching this meeting deprived of his conductor Savanier (5 goals, 3 assists) who underwent a small operation on one knee and who risks withdrawing from this poster. Important defender Sainte-Luce is also continuing his recovery phase and nothing guarantees his presence for this trip to the Allianz Riviera. Conversely, the formidable scorer Alexandre Mendy (6 goals, 2 assists), passed through Nice earlier in his career, should be present just like the interesting Mbuku (2 goals, 3 assists).
