Form, Standings, Stats

Last Game: Rennes 2-1 Nice
Monday, January 2 at 8pm in Ligue 1

We said: Nice 0-1 Montpellier HSC

Nice have been out of sorts recently, and they have a very poor record at home, picking up just nine points in their opening eight matches at the Allianz Riviera. Montpellier have also struggled, but they managed to win their last away match in Ligue 1, so we think that they could make it two on the spin on Wednesday in a closely-contested game. Read more.
