Montpellier vs Nantes Predictions

• Three of Montpellier’s last four Ligue 1 games have ended with under 2.5 goals
• Nantes have only scored 28 goals in 30 league games
• No team has drawn more Ligue 1 matches than Montpellier’s ten this term

Nantes still in danger

Nantes have been in decent form recently, winning four of their last five away games, but they remain in relegation trouble and currently sit just three points above the drop zone thanks to some their poor record on home soil.

They visit a Montpellier side that have pulled themselves out of any real danger with three wins from their last four matches and this could be a cagey clash. The home team are in good nick but have been grinding out results recently rather than blowing teams away and this looks set to be another close run thing.

Low-scoring affair fancied

Three of Montpellier’s last four league games have gone under 2.5 goals and they face one of the lowest-scoring teams in the division in the shape of Nantes. The visitors have only netted 28 times in 30 league games and given the stakes for the Canaries, they may adopt a cautious approach.

Under 2.5 goals is the selection for this clash but correct score backers should keep Nantes’ decent away form in mind when making a pick. No side in the divsion has drawn more games than Montpellier’s ten and they may be held to another stalemate here, with 1-1 the fancied score.
