Montpellier vs Nice Prediction and Betting Tips | November 10th 2023

Montpellier will host Nice at the Stade de la Mosson on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign.

The home side have had mixed results in the league this season and currently find themselves in the bottom half of the table. They were beaten 3-0 by defending champions Paris Saint-Germain in their last league outing and could have no complaints about the result after being second-best for most parts of the game.

Montpellier sit 13th in the league table with just 11 points from 10 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest result and return to winning ways this Friday.

Nice, meanwhile, are enjoying a remarkable season and are making an early push for their first league title in over six decades. They beat Stade Rennais 2-0 in a tense clash at the Allianz Riviera last weekend, with Jeremie Boga scoring the game's opener before a late own goal from Steve Mandanda helped wrap up the points for Francesco Farioli's men.

The visitors sit atop the Ligue 1 standings with 25 points from 11 games. They are one point above second-placed PSG and will be looking to widen that gap with a win this weekend.
