Nice will endeavour to make it three wins out of three in Ligue 1 when they travel to the Stade de la Mosson to take on Montpellier HSC on Saturday afternoon.
In contrast, Montpellier kicked off their 2020-21 campaign with a 2-1 loss to Rennes in the final weekend of August.
We say: Montpellier HSC 1-2 Nice
Nice have enjoyed a strong start to the new campaign and will be motivated to get as many points on the board as possible before they have to juggle domestic and Europa League commitments. Montpellier are capable of making it a testing afternoon for Vieira's men, but we expect the visitors to carry on in the same vein and record their third victory on the bounce this weekend.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or draw.

St Etienne vs. Strasbourg (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Saint-Etienne will be looking to build on their victory over Lorient when they welcome Strasbourg to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard for Saturday's Ligue 1 clash.
In contrast, Strasbourg are still searching for their first points of the season after two defeats to Lorient and Nice early on in the 2020-21 campaign.
We say: Saint-Etienne 3-1 Strasbourg
There is no need for Strasbourg to be panicking despite having recorded two early losses, but Laurey's men are travelling to a Saint-Etienne side with a point to prove following their dismal 2019-20 campaign, so we are backing the hosts to march to victory and condemn Strasbourg to a third league defeat in succession on Saturday evening.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or draw.
