Montpellier vs Nice preview - Gomis looking for reaction

Nice defender Kevin Gomis hopes to make amends for his costly mistake last time out when his side travel to Montpellier in Ligue 1.

Gomis' hospital pass across his own back four fell to Bernardo Silva, who finished clinically to earn Monaco a 1-0 win at Nice last weekend.

"We were solid. And then we conceded a goal on a mistake," Gomis said on ogcnice.com.

"Now you have to move on. I'm going back to work and that's it - be aware of what happened and move forward.

"I just needed the weekend to unwind and think about something else, because I was disgusted. My parents and my friends told me to move on.

"I'm a competitor and now it has happened. You come back on Tuesday on the ground and you work.

"Now we will prepare for Montpellier seriously. We really want to respond."

Nice are without a win in four matches since winning three in a row on the resumption following the winter break.

Montpellier have won four of their six matches since the mid-season hiatus and sit two points above Nice in seventh place.

Midfielder Jamel Saihi has recovered from a knee problem, but is doubtful for the contest due to illness.

Saihi could be named on the substitutes' bench, though.

Striker Lucas Barrios could come into the side, after recovering from flu, to start alongside Kevin Berigaud.
