Team News
Nice
Montpellier
- Anastasios Donis looks set to start as the lead striker in the absence of the suspended Mario Balotelli and the injured Alassane Pléa; the former Lyon player will miss the rest of the season.
- Malang Sarr hasn't been seen in the first team or among the substitutes since being removed against Monaco, and rumors have swirled surrounding the young centre-back's situation; he has failed to make the squad for this encounter as well.
- The veteran Mounir Obbadi delivered a credible performance in his first start since joining from Lille in the winter; he should keep his place alongside Jean Michael Seri and Wylan Cyprien.
- William Rémy has suffered a strain in training, but the return to fitness of Daniel Congré means Montpellier still have options on the bench in defence.
- Paul Lasne was impressive after coming on for Keegan Dolly on the left last week against Saint-Étienne, and he should keep his place, but it would be a surprise to see further changes from Jean-Louis Gasset given the team's good form of late.
Nice winning
This match is very tough! I would probably say a draw but because of Nice missing offensive players I am not sure. If they can find the inspiration up front than this will be tough for Montpellier, and I think Nice midfield will dominate Montpelliers so a 1-0, 2-0 win for Nice is not far from truly. If Nice midfield wont deliver than this is a Montpellier win. If Paul Lasne does not start than Montpellier will win definitely.
Nice exceed the AFC sendrom. This match for home side.
