League Standings

Nice have had a very underwhelming league campaign, they have really struggled to stamp their authority. Claude Puel's men have won just 6 games so far this season and will be looking at this cup competition as a chance to gain some momentum and provide some much needed hope for fans.

Montpellier sit 9th in Ligue 2 after their relegation last season. They would have been hoping for a better league campagin that would see them in the automatic promotion places. But instead they sit 3 points off the play-offs and will have no choice but to do it the hard way.
