Nantes vs Montpellier Predictions

• Montpellier have lost only two of their last 15 league games
• Nantes have drawn eight of their 18 home matches
• Montpellier have drawn five of their last eight on the road

Pair may be difficult to separate

Nantes have won four matches in a row to enhance their Ligue 1 survival claims but they look too short in their pursuit of a fifth at home to Montpellier.

18th-placed Nantes currently occupy the Ligue 1 relegation playoff place but they are only two points behind Reims in 13th, so victory would all-but secure their top-flight status.

However, each of their four recent wins were recorded against teams that sit 14th or below in the Ligue 1 standings and eighth-placed Montpellier are a different proposition.

Montpellier are less desperate for the points but they have lost just two of their 15 league games since the end of January.

In fact, Michel Der Zakarian’s men have lost only four of their 18 away league games this term, avoiding defeats at Monaco and Lille and recording a shock triumph at Lyon.

Nantes have shared the spoils in eight of their 18 home league games and Montpellier have endured the same number of draws on their travels, so a point apiece looks likely.

Correct-score punters should opt for a 1-1 draw – four of Monpellier’s last eight away league matches finished that way.
