Nantes vs Montpellier Match Prediction 17 MAY 2025
I feel Nantes will not disappoint in this final day contest as they have their fate to decide. With relegation looming the home side, a point in this game will surely seal their spot for the next season in Ligue 1. However, looking at how poor Montpellier have been all season, it is difficult to expect any surprising performance or exciting game from them, as they have failed to show any defensive solidity or hunger in attack. Also, while Nantes play at home in this one, this side has also struggled in back to back matches, making them a side that can not be trusted. Yet, this is a game that will define their season, and I feel with the level of play Montpellier have shown this season, they will find it difficult to deny Nantes maximum points. Also, Montpellier have struggled in defence and could concede twice at full time, given Nantes attacking line has not been threatening either.

Our betting tip: is a 2-0 correct score with odds at 7.50 on Bet365 bookmaker.
