Montpellier: Montpellier’s recent performance in the French Ligue 1 is not ideal, especially when playing away games, their record has declined significantly, they have conceded many goals, and their scoring ability is limited. The team has not yet found a stable rhythm on the offensive end, and the defensive end is also relatively weak.

Data Analysis
Offensive and defensive data
Montpellier’s performance on the offensive end is not outstanding, especially when playing away games, their scoring ability is obviously limited. On the defensive end, they also find it difficult to resist the opponent’s offense and concede more goals.
Nice is relatively more balanced on both offense and defense. They can create more scoring opportunities on the offensive end, and can effectively limit the opponent’s offense on the defensive end.
Ball possession and number of shots
In past games, Nice has often been able to have an advantage in ball possession and number of shots. This shows that they can better control the rhythm in the game and create more scoring opportunities.
Montpellier’s performance in these two aspects is relatively poor, which may become a major disadvantage for them in this game.
