Two Ligue1 sides separated by just one place after 30 games each meet on Friday night as Montpellier play host to Nantes.
Montpellier had a poor start to the season - picking up just one win from their opening six games - but there have been improvements as the season has progressed. La Paillade go into this week's game with just one defeat from their last seven games, and that loss was against record champions PSG. This run of form has seen Montpellier move four points clear of the relegation zone and they could leapfrog 11th placed Toulose with a win this week.
Nantes finished last season just one point clear of the relegation zone and look set for another nervy finish to the campaign. The Canaries have picked up just two wins from their last seven league games, but will take heart ahead of Friday’s game from their away form. Antoine Kombouaré's side have won four of their last five away games and are unbeaten in five of the last six.
Betting Tips Montpellier vs Nantes: Over 2.5 goals
Montpellier finished their last home game without conceding, but that was a rare scenario. La Paillade have conceded an average of two goals per game in their last six matches at the Stade de la Mosson and only one of those encounters ended with under two goals.
Nantes have also been very weak defensively of late. The visitors boast just one clean sheet in their last seven games, but have been in good form in front of goal of late. Antoine Kombouaré's side have scored in four of their last five games and also averaged a goal a game in their last five encounters with La Paillade.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Montpellier vs Nantes prediction: 2-1

Nantes team news
Nantes will again be without the services of Ignatius Ganago who has been out since November due to a cruciate ligament injury.
The striker is being accompanied in the treatment room by Bastien Meupiyou and Moses Simon, who are struggling with meniscus damage and a broken fibula.
Moussa Sissoko, Nicolas Pallois, Florent Mollet, Pedro Chirivella and Jean-Kévin Duverne are just one yellow card away from a suspension, but head coach Antoine Kombouaré has no other issues.
