Team News

Nice
Montpellier
  • With Melvin Bard suspended after accumulating two yellow cards in his last outing, Nice will be forced to make important changes to their lineup. In Bard’s absence, Ali Abdi is expected to step in and take his place at right-back.
  • On the injury front, Terem Moffi, Morgan Sanson, and Pablo Rosario remain sidelined, leaving the team without these key players as they prepare for their next challenge.
  • Nice will need to adapt quickly to these changes as they look to maintain their momentum.
  • Bećir Omeragić has suffered a serious meniscus injury and underwent surgery last week, ruling him out for an extended period. Additionally, Modibo Sagnan is suspended after accumulating too many yellow cards over the past 10 games. As a result, Louis Gasset is expected to start in the lineup, with Bamo Meïté likely to fill in at the backline.
  • The team also continues to cope with long-term injuries, as Nikola Maksimovic, Christopher Juien, Glenn Ngosso, and Issiaga Sylla remain sidelined, further complicating their defensive options.

Prediction

  • OGC Nice welcome Montpellier HSC to the Allianz Riviera on Sunday, for what promises to be a crucial Ligue 1 clash. Nice, who are currently sitting in third place with 40 points, are on a strong run and looking to secure another victory to maintain their position near the top of the table. In contrast, Montpellier, struggling at the bottom with just 15 points, will be desperate for points to try and climb out of the relegation zone.
  • Nice will be without key defender Malvin Bard due to suspension, while midfielder Morgan Sanson and striker Terem Moffi are both sidelined with injury. Despite these absences, Nice have been solid in recent weeks, winning their last two matches, including a 3-1 victory over Le Havre.
  • Montpellier, on the other hand, are facing a series of challenges. They are missing several important players due to injury. Montpellier's form has been concerning, with just two wins in their last seven matches, including a heavy 4-1 defeat to Olympique Lyonnais. Despite their struggles, Montpellier will be hoping to pull off a surprise, with Teji Savanier capable of creating problems for any defence.
  • In terms of head-to-head, Nice have had the upper hand in recent meetings, winning three of the last six encounters, and their strong home form against Montpellier further strengthens their position as favourites. Montpellier have been poor on the road this season, and with their injury list growing, it seems unlikely they can mount a serious challenge.
  • Nice are expected to take all three points from this match.
