Nice-Montpellier is a match of the 25th day of Ligue 1 and is played Friday at 9 p.m.: TV, likely lineups, predictions
It’s a bit of a moment for Italian coach Farioli’s Nice, which after daydreaming for many months, now finds itself in fifth place in the standings and with those behind pushing – Marseille among them – for the fight for Europe. In the advance of the 25th day of the French league, however, the Rossoneri are engaged at home against a formation fighting for salvation. So, objectively, of particular problems there should be none.
Nice have won only once in their last five: and they come to this match, above all, from the bitter defeat away at the Toulouse ground. Things are not going very well within the Rossoneri lineup right now, but they only have one result at their disposal, and everyone in those parts knows it. Only one win in the same time frame for the visiting lineup as well, which as explained before should not create who knows what kind of headaches even for what is the external performance: two very heavy defeats in the last outings and only one win in the last seven overall. In short, away from home Montpellier is really little.
So? So it is obvious that this match starts with a decidedly favored team, which is the one playing at home. A team, that of the Italian coach, which as mentioned at the beginning for a little while even dreamed of holding its own against Psg. Then things went back to normal, yes, because that path at the beginning of the year was just abnormal.
The prediction
In a match that of particular excitement should offer none, Nice is off to a good start and should also manage to take the entire stake. Match with less than four goals in total and especially with only one team, the home team of course, that should manage to find the way to the net during the 90minutes.
