Nancy vs Montpellier Prediction 14 August 2026
📣 In March, Montpellier already beat Nancy on this ground (3:0). That match was played behind closed doors, though.

Montpellier, meanwhile, don't score many in away matches: in their last 17 in Ligue 2, there were fewer than four goals. The two sides play in the second round on 14 August, and both started the season with draws.

Head-to-head statistics Nancy - Montpellier
Nancy Team Overview
Nancy returned to Ligue 2 a year ago and spent the entire season fighting relegation: 14th place out of 18 with 37 points. They won nine and drew ten. Over the course of the season, the hosts scored 35 goals and conceded 52. Things kept falling apart at home. The worst evening was an April defeat to Annecy, 1-5. Nobody in that Ligue 2 lost at home by a bigger margin, and only Guingamp matched the four-goal difference. Nancy started the new season with a draw in Boulogne (0-0). For an away result that's decent enough, though they failed to score. On the other hand, the hosts rarely lose: unbeaten in 7 of their last 8 Ligue 2 matches.
Match Results: Nancy
Montpellier Team Overview
This is Montpellier's second season in Ligue 2 after 16 years in the top flight. The first ended in eighth place with 51 points and a goal difference of plus ten. Promotion will not be easy: there are only two direct spots up to Ligue 1, and Metz and Nantes, who have just been relegated from the top flight, will be competing for them as well. Away from home, Montpellier are reliable: five consecutive away matches in Ligue 2 without a defeat. And overall, they have gone unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 Ligue 2 matches.

Editor's Pick
Clean sheets are rare for the hosts: they score and concede in 6 of their last 7 Ligue 2 matches. At home, Nancy have conceded in 8 of their last 9 games - the visitors will get on the scoresheet here. Montpellier have their own run - scoring in five straight matches. We expect goals from both sides. The bet is both teams to score. Predicted score - 1:1.
