Football Prediction
Ligue One leaded OGC Nice have a date with Montpellier in Ligue One on Friday night as they look to consolidate their position heading into week 12.
Host Montpellier are regularly a mid-table team. This season, they didn’t start that well, so after ten matches, Montpellier are only one point above the relegation playoff zone but their spirited display against PSG in their last time-out should give them the confidence to have a go at their visitors.
Nice knows that they can’t rest on their laurels as they are just a point ahead of PSG and two points ahead of Monaco. Nice won the last four games in all competitions. In the previous match, they won 2-0 at home against Rennes.

Team News
Montpellier’s left-back Issiaga Sylla injured his calf in their last game against PSG so he is expected to sit this one out. His replacement on Friday should be Theo Sainte-Luce, who hasn’t started so far this season. The club will also be without Becir Omeragic, Arnaud Nordin, and Boubakar Kouyate.
For Nice, Alexis Claude-Maurice, Jordan Lotomba, Youcef Atal, and Youssouf Ndayishimiye are out of contention for this tie. Ndayishimiye got a straight red card last weekend and it is suspended.
Probable Line Up
Montpellier XI: Lecomte (GK), Sacko, Julien, Esteve, Sainte-Luce, Chotard, Savanier, Ferri, Al-Tamari, Adams, Fayad
Nice XI: Marcin Bulka, Rosario, Todibo, Dante, Bard, Boudaoui, Beka, Thuram, Laborde, Moffi, Boga
Verdict
Montpellier have only scored three goals in the last three matches in what is a stark contrast of Nice who have a 5-0 goal difference in the previous four games. Nice to win should be the best betting option for this tie.
