👉 Our prediction is: Nantes to win

Nantes vs Montpellier has all the makings of a competitive battle between two sides that are both eyeing an important win. But we are ever so slightly leaning toward Nantes to win on the 1X2 market.

Nantes will enjoy home advantage, which they have capitalised on with their strong form at home. They remain good value to win with their odds, and we expect them to pay out those odds with all three points at home.

👉 Our prediction is: Nantes to score first

It will be a tough task for Nantes to topple Montpellier, who have been a better side overall this season. But with the support of the home crowd will be a huge help to Nantes in their bid to cause an upset.

While the odds of an outright win are not great, we recommend betting on Nantes to score first as a decent alternative. There is still good value in those odds, and with Nantes's attacking talent, they have more than a puncher's chance of paying off that bet.
