It was no longer than a year ago, 22.10.2023 to be precise, when these teams met each other and played for the big win at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes. Montpellier HSC is under a lot of pressure from their fans. It's caused by the previous loss against FC Nantes. That match ended in 0-2.

In the last three matches of the two teams facing each other, FC Nantes scored a total of 5 goals while Montpellier HSC only scored 3.
