Montpellier
Montpellier is having a typical season for themselves, sitting comfortably in the middle of the table. After 30 matches, they have accumulated 36 points. With four rounds left, they can feel relatively safe as they hold an eight-point lead over the relegation zone. Unless something extraordinary happens, we will see Montpellier in the top flight of French football next season. In their recent matches, the team has been on a good run, defeating Reims, Le Havre, and Lorient, and drawing with Clermont.
Nantes
Last season, the club reached the final of the French Cup but barely retained their spot in Ligue 1, finishing 16th. Staying in the top flight was secured with a victory over Angers in the final round. In the current Ligue 1 campaign, Nantes is also fighting for survival, leading Le Havre, who are in the relegation zone, by just three points with four rounds to go.
Montpellier HSC possible starting lineup:
Lecomte; Hefti, Kouyate, Sagnan, Sylla; Ferri, Chotard; Nordin, Savanier, Tamari; Adams
Nantes possible starting lineup:
Lafont; Amian, Castelletto, Pallois, Duverne; Sissoko, Chirivella, Moutoussamy; Coco, Mohamed, Mollet

Prediction: Montpellier HSC 2-0 Nantes
Nantes' abysmal streak of home results and impressive endeavours on the road are most peculiar, and Les Canaris have also had the better of their hosts in recent times, but they now face a Montpellier side riding the crest of a wave. Ruing the absence of a key attacking cog in Simon, Nantes' purple patch away from home should count for little against the in-form Paillade, who have their own difference-maker in Teji Savanier capable of causing chaos against any opponent.
