Nantes desperately need points on Friday, Dec 4 at 8:00 PM in the Ligue 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Montpellier come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 0L). Nantes travel struggling badly (0W 3L in last 3), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Montpellier won their last outing, while Nantes suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

In 10 previous meetings, Montpellier lead 3–5 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Montpellier won 0–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Montpellier clear favorites, but Nantes have shown they can grind out results. Expect Montpellier to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
