Lille could be held by in-form Montpellier

Nice v Angers

BT Sport 2, 6pm Tuesday

Nice's 0-0 draw at bottom club Guingamp on Saturday may have looked like two points dropped but, on the plus side, that's five games without conceding for Patrick Vieira's men.

Scoring goals is a problem, however. Nice have bagged only 12 in 15 games, while Angers are not great going forward either. The teams' meetings last season ended in draws and this one could too.

Recommendation
Draw
1pt 23-10 Betway

Ligue 1 standings

Montpellier v Lille

BT Sport 2, 8pm Tuesday

Montpellier’s come-from-behind success at Monaco has seen them move into second spot in Ligue 1, though they have yet to play any of their top-four rivals.

The first of those, Lille, head south after an absorbing 2-2 clash against Lyon which extended their winless run to four games and another draw could make it five.

Recommendation
Draw
1pt 9-4 Betfair

Bet on this game at Soccerbase.com

Key stat
Montpellier are unbeaten in their last seven home league games.
