Nice is in an excellent position to extend their unbeaten run to five games. Their home form is even more impressive—a 10-match streak without a loss—making them a formidable force on their own turf. They've convincingly defeated top-six teams, winning 2–0 against Marseille, 3–2 over Rennes, 2–1 against Monaco, and drawing 1–1 with PSG.

With a perfect home record and a remarkable goal difference of 25:9, Nice emerges as the clear favorite against a Montpellier side struggling with injuries. Montpellier is missing three key defenders and is further hampered by an eight-player injury list. Their away form is among the worst, with just one win in ten matches and a goal difference of 5:23. Additionally, the sale of their main striker Adams and winger Tamari has further weakened their attacking options.
