Who will win the Nice vs Montpellier match?

Montpellier are the stronger pick according to CheckLive's analysis, supported by superior recent form and a clear mental edge over Nice. The Coupe de France fifth-round tie looks likely to go the way of the visitors, given their momentum and defensive organisation.

Who has better form coming into this cup tie?

Montpellier hold the better form, having won three of their last five matches including back-to-back victories. Nice have been inconsistent, with two losses in their last five outings and a leaky defence conceding 12 goals across that period.

Is the double chance market recommended for this match?

Yes, covering Montpellier with the draw offers a sensible safety net, given Nice's home record in head-to-head meetings. The visitors are the form pick, but cup ties can swing on fine margins, making the double chance a balanced approach.
