Montpellier and Nantes are separated only by Strasbourg in the second half of the Ligue 1 standings, but find themselves in radically different situations. The hosts can breathe easy, a right they have earned with some great results of late. With victories in the previous weeks, the visitors, on the other hand, have slipped out of the relegation zone, but are still not far enough away from it.
Montpellier vs Nantes Prediction:
Purely statistically, I’m going with a card bet for today’s match. In Montpellier’s home games an average of 6.27 have been shown, with 2.47 for the home side. The overall average in Nantes’ visits, on the other hand, is 6.57, with the visitors heavily credited with an average of 3.79. The bookmakers are setting a much lower line than the statistical line for this match and I can even afford to bet on an Asian line for more insurance.
