Victory and salvation for Montpellier last week when they won away against Reims with 1-2 and essentially secured their spot in the category. It was the fourth consecutive game they remained undefeated. The visitors took the lead in the 26th minute with a header from Savanier and were seriously threatened only once in the entire first half when the header from Munetsi was neutralized by goalkeeper Omlin.

In the second half, Laborde equalized in the 66th minute to make it 1-1, and everything indicated that the game would end in a draw, as the pace dropped significantly. However, in the 86th minute, Delort made it 1-2 with a superb effort, giving Montpellier the precious victory.

Out injured is Sambia, but Ferri, who served his suspension, returns to the squad.

Nantes is coming from a 0-3 home defeat against Rennes, once again failing to take advantage of their home ground. The game was not good, and all the interesting things happened in the last 25 minutes. In the first half, the only notable chance was a shot hitting the post by Doue in the 28th minute.

The visitors opened the scoring in the 67th minute with Kalimuendo and won a penalty, successfully converted by Muringo in the 76th minute, making it 0-2 and essentially securing the win, as Nantes showed no sign throughout the match that they could threaten, except for a double chance by Mohamed in the 78th minute. In stoppage time, the canaries conceded a third goal from Guirassy, who wrote the final score of 0-3.

The injured players Simon, Douglas Augusto, Meunipigyo, and Kanteveer are not considered.
