It is confirmed, Montpellier will spend Christmas at the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings. La Paillade have had a torrid first half of the season and will target a better ending to the year against Nice. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Montpellier have managed a paltry eight points to this stage of the season. That is four points behind their closest challenger and five below the safety line. Jean Louis Gasset’s men have managed just two wins this season.
Ahead of this match, they suffered a 2-0 loss to Lens, their third straight winless outing.
Four-time Ligue 1 winners Nice are clinging onto one of the European slots. They will hope to finish 2024 in the top six, but that is dependent on the result from this game.
Montpellier are rarely easy opponents for Nice; they lost 2-1 the last time they faced off. Coming into this match, Nice lost 2-1 at Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League. That was their third defeat in four matches.
It also marked the seventh straight game in which they failed to keep a clean sheet. They have just one in 10 matches, and each of the last seven had over 2.5 goals. Here, they will hope to avoid a third straight away loss.

Our Montpellier Hsc vs Nice Prediction
Both Montpellier’s wins in the league came at home, and they will want to end their Ligue 1 campaign in 2024 with a home win. Collecting four points in their last two home matches could suggest it is a possibility but the goals market looks interesting for us.
Neither of these teams has kept a clean sheet in recent matches, and they are coming from high scoring games. They also rarely fail to score. Therefore, our prediction for Montpellier v Nice is for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
