The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Montpellier are in the 9th position while the guesting Nantes worry at 17th.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Montpellier and Nantes.
These teams have little in common geographically as Nantes have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
