In Ligue 1, Nantes plays Montpellier at the Stade de la Beaujoire on Saturday, May 20. Due to the fact that Ligue 1 will only have 18 teams in the upcoming season, the hosts are currently 17th in the standings and face the possibility of being eliminated. That implies the last four groups will be consigned instead of three.
Nantes are winless in 12 excursions and played a goalless draw against Toulouse last week, neglecting to score for the third consecutive game. In the meantime, twelfth put Montpellier is winless in two games. After a 5-4 loss against Lyon recently, they drew 1-1 against Lorient last week. Lorient lost their lead when Faitout Maouassa scored at the end.

Nantes vs Montpellier Prediction :
In recent games, Nantes has been inconsistent. They’re winless in seven games across rivalries and have lost their last two home games. In the most recent games, they have only scored four goals in six attempts.
Montpellier, on the other hand, has failed to score in consecutive defeats against Nantes. They have failed to score in three of their last four visits to Nantes, so they will try to take advantage of that.
While Montpellier has scored in their last six away games, the hosts have scored in four of their last five home games. Both teams are expected to score, and given their recent history and current form, a low-scoring draw could occur.

Quentin Merlin and Fabien Centonze, who play as wingbacks, will be able to advance, and Nicolas Pallois, Andrei Girotto, and Jean-Charles Castelletto are expected to form the back three.
Ludovic Blas, who has scored 12 goals and provided seven assists across all competitions this season, will continue to operate in attack alongside Moses Simon and Marcus Coco. Toulouse, then again, looks set to be without Wahbi Khazri the end of the week as the experience forward keeps on recuperating from a thigh injury.
21-year-old midfielder Leo Leroy is likewise expected to be missing from the matchday crew, having missed last end of the week’s 1-1 draw with Lorient, so Jordan Ferri will keep on securing the midfield. Arnaud Nordin and Stephy Mavididi will play wide attacking roles for MHSC, while Christopher Jullien and Boubakar Kouyate are expected to resume their partnership at center back. Elye Wahi will continue to lead the line for MHSC.
