Nice has never participated in the Champions League group phase. They are currently vying for the top four spots in the French national league this season, with hopes to potentially achieve their Champions League objective. However, Nice has only managed to secure one point in their past four games, indicating a need for drastic improvement if they are to stand a chance. Last weekend, they faced a 2-1 loss against Toulouse on their home ground. Toulouse outperformed Nice, particularly in the second half, leading to yet another defeat for Nice.
Montpellier is battling to avoid the relegation scrap. Currently, they are trailing by one point from the safety zone. They have only managed to secure a win in one out of their last seven matches across all competitions. In their latest match, they had a 2-2 draw at home against Strasbourg. Both teams had a fairly balanced performance, which explains why the points were shared.
Nice vs Montpellier pick: Over 2.5 goals
In three of the last five matches, Nice has exceeded 2.5 goals, while Montpellier has surpassed 2.5 goals in each of the last six games. Therefore, betting on over 2.5 goals would be the most promising wager for this game.
