Nice, Recent FormThe Nice players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Toulouse recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. They came away from that fixture with 55% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Toulouse managed 17 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
Francesco Farioli will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 4 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and this season they have notched up 9 clean sheets in 12 games at Stade Allianz Riviera.
They have had a strong run of form at Stade Allianz Riviera recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Terem Moffi will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Nice.
Montpellier, Recent FormA 2-2 draw and a point gained against Strasbourg in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Montpellier last time out. In that game they had 60% possession and managed 21 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Strasbourg who had 12 attempts and 4 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.
On an individual basis, Arnaud Nordin is giving Montpellier's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
Nice will have been disappointed not to take all 3 points in their last league match against Montpellier with the game ending in a 0-0 draw.
La Paillade have been consistent in front of goal during their last 3 league outings away to Nice, having found the back of the net with a goal on each occasion. In their last 3 away league games against Les Aiglons, Montpellier have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
Nice have been unbeaten the last 4 times they have faced Montpellier in the league.
Téji Savanier will be feeling confident of netting goals for Montpellier in this one against Nice with his scoring record of 3 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
Nice manager Francesco Farioli has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Sofiane Diop (Foot), Valentin Rosier (Muscle) and Morgan Sanson (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Christopher Jullien (Foot) and Bećir Omeragić (Foot) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Michel Der Zakarian will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
