My Prediction
Nice by 1Alright, let's take a gander at the impending rough and tumble on the pitch between Montpellier and Nice. The gloves are on with Marcin Bułka readying his mitts for Nice and Benjamin Lecomte strapping up for Montpellier. Lecomte has that extra save under his belt which is about as impressive as a triple somersault with a double spin... in a rocking chair.
Rounding out Team Nice, we've got Melvin Bard with a cranky 8.50 rating and Sofiane Diop shooting 84.2% accurate passes – he's been tossing that ball around like confetti at a wedding. Tom Louchet should also get a nod - even though he hasn't got a goal, he's passing with 89.3% accuracy. It's like a disco in the 70s for these guys, they are just feeling the groove.
Now, at the opposite side of the coin, we've got Montpellier. Teji Savanier is at the top of the heap with a decent 7.33 rating followed by goal scorer Issiaga Sylla. Joris Chotard hasn't found the goal yet, unlike my mother-in-law hunting for bargains, but he's passing like a champ with an 81.4% accurate pass.
Looking at the previous skirmishes, we can see a variety in results, which is as reliable as a weather forecast. The most recent match had Montpellier on top, but the prior games tell us this battle could go either way - just like my dieting plans.
The regular season record does paint a grim picture for Montpellier - a bit like modern art, you might say. Nice has been performing well with 6 wins compared to Montpellier's deuce. Recent results show that Nice has been more 'nice' on the field with a string of wins.
Given all that, I predict that Nice will do the cricket equivalent of a 'sticky wicket' to Montpellier - but don't quote me on that, I'm here for the halftime snacks.
