Montpellier take on the visitors Nice in the round 12 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, November 10th at Stade de la Mosson (Montpellier).
Montpellier are part of a relatively narrow list of teams that have become champions of the country in the last decade. However, their "golden" moment in 2012 remains the only championship, and the year before that, they claimed the domestic cup. Currently, despite having Ter-Zakaryan, considered a knowledgeable specialist as their coach, his wards failed to break into the top 10 last season. In the current season, they find themselves closer to the relegation zone than the European competition spots, although the table shows the typical density of Ligue 1. Until the last round, the team had an equal record, with 3 wins, draws, and losses each. However, on November 3rd, they predictably suffered a crushing defeat to the champion, PSG.

Nice are finally confirming its ambitions with results. "Les Aiglons" have won the championship and the cup multiple times in the past, with major successes in the mid-20th century, and their last title dates back to 1997. After a 20-year hiatus, the last peak came with a third-place finish in Ligue 1 under Favre. However, there was a decline afterward, and there were no successes even after a change in ownership. Lucien's return did not change the fortunes either. The choice of Farioli as a coach was surprising, as not many knew about such a specialist, but it justified itself with results. The season started with an unbeaten streak, allowing them to take the top spot in the table. They also confidently defeated Rennes with a "grandmaster-like" 2-0, including an own goal by Mandanda.
In this calendar year, the teams have already played twice, in January and May, and on both occasions, Nice was the stronger side. "Les Pailladins" are not without hope, but they face a very strong and motivated opponent. We bet on another victory for "Les Aiglons" in this fixture of the French Ligue 1.
Prediction for the match: Nice to win.
