Les huitièmes de finale de la Coupe de France ont lieu ce mercredi 7 février. Montpellier accueille Nice au stade de la Mosson à 20 h 30.

Montpellier is struggling in Ligue 1. With only one victory in the last eleven league matches, the Héraultais are not in a positive dynamic. The Coupe de France interlude is eagerly awaited to take a "breath of fresh air" and move forward according to Michel Der Zakarian.

To succeed in capturing this saving oxygen, we will have to find the solution against the best defense in the French championship. With only 11 goals conceded in 20 Ligue 1 matches, OGC Nice looks like an Everest for a Montpellier team struggling in front of goal (8 goals scored in the last 11 championship matches).

During the championship meeting between the two teams, already at La Mosson, Montpellier and Nice left with a frustrating 0-0 for the Héraultais.

And to make matters worse, the MHSC will still be deprived of its top scorer Akor Adams (7 goals in Ligue 1) and Mousa Tamari, sparkling with Jordan in the World Cup. Asia of Nations. Mincarelli leaves the group in favor of Sylla who returns to the team following his return from the CAN. On the Nice side, Moffi and Boga are still retained by their national team.
