Nice are on the eleventh place in the table with only seven points to their credit at the moment. In their starting three matches of the new Ligue 1 Conforama season Les Aiglons failed completely and it seemd like they would fail the whole season. They lost two of their home fixtures with an overall 0-5 score. However, in their last two matches the team of Patrick Vieira was able to get some points confidently. In their last away game they beat Lyon with a 1-0 score and in their last home fixture they beat Stade Rennais with a 2-1 score. In their last three matches overall Nice beat Stade Rennais with a 2-1 score, Lyon with a 1-0 score and lost to Dijon with a 0-4 score.
Nice have been able to beat Montpellier at the Stade de la Mosson only once in history. It happened two years ago. Both teams have been close to achieving their peak shape recently so they are unlikely to risk in the upcoming fixture. They will probably score only a few goals on Saturday.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 goals scored.
