Ligue 1: in Nice against the Aiglons, Montpellier must escape the red zone, today at 9 p.m.

Il y a un mois en Coupe de France, Savanier et le MHSC avaient sombré face à Nice à domicile. Midi Libre – JEAN MICHEL MART

To open the 25th day of Ligue 1, Montpellier travels to the Allianz Riviera to face Nice, this Friday March 8 at 9 p.m.

Having entered the red zone for the first time since February 2016, the MHSC no longer has time to think about it. Michel Der Zakarian's men have 10 games left to win at least one place and stay in the elite. 

To begin with, there are two complicated pitfalls with this trip to Nice before the reception of PSG next Sunday.

Nice in difficulty

Nice is not the most fit team at the moment and remains in 5 matches without a victory. Despite this, the Aiglons are still the best defense in Ligue 1. A headache for Montpellier who had foundered at La Mosson in the Coupe de France against the same Niçois (1-4). 

For this meeting, Khazri will be back in the starting lineup, in a 4-3-3 formation.
