The weeks towards the end of the season haven't been great for Nantes, and they’ll be seeking a point to stay up. On matchday 34 of the French Ligue 1, sitting 15th, they host relegated Montpellier. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Les Canaris are two points above the relegation playoff position. Their fate is in their hands, boosted by a better goal difference compared to Le Havre. A draw or a win would do the job for Nantes.
One point in this game will better their tally from last season. It wouldn’t just be an improvement but also an assurance of a place in Ligue 1 next season.
Montpellier have been the Ligue 1 whipping boys, and Nantes should be able to claim their share of three points. They already did with a 3-1 win in the reverse fixture back in August.
Montpellier have already been relegated, and for them there isn’t much to play for other than pride. The visitors are winless in this fixture in the last three meetings and have only won once in six matches against Nantes.
A long injury list and a couple of suspensions won’t help La Paillade here. They are already 25 points worse off than their tally last season and have won just four of 33 league matches.
