Betting on Monaco FC
Philippe Clement’s team has been performing impressively in the current season and consistently asserting itself as one of the strongest contenders in Ligue 1. In its last match against Stade Brestois, the Rouge et Blanc won 2-1 away thanks to goals scored by Aleksandr Golovin and Myron Bouadu.
With last match’s result, Monaco completes a stretch of five matchdays without being defeated and occupies the third position in the French tournament, so this Monaco vs Nice clash is a great chance to get closer to Marseille, its direct rival.
So far, Monaco has achieved 15 wins and it has reached 5 draws to accumulate 50 points in France’s premier competition.
Possible Monaco lineup (4-4-2): Alexander Nübel; Chrislain Matsima, Axel Disasi, Malang Sarr, Caio Henrique; Krépin Diatta, Youssouf Fofana, Eliot Matazo, Aleksandr Golovin; Eliesse Ben Seghir, Wissam Ben Yedder.
Betting on OGC Nice
Nice has been on the rise in Ligue 1 with its good results, and it still has a chance to advance further, as it is in eighth place in the standings with 38 points from 10 wins, 8 draws and 6 defeats. The Aiglons are three points out of sixth place in the standings, so every win counts.
The squad led by Gaëtan Laborde has struggled to improve its performances in the current season. Indeed, its most recent clash against Reims ended in a 0-0 draw, ending a streak of 4 wins in a row. The Monaco vs Nice match is an opportunity for the visiting team to move closer to the top of the league.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Kasper Schmeichel; Jordan Lotomba, Jean-Clair Todibo, Dante, Melvin Bard; Aaron Ramsey, Hicham Boudaoui, Khéphren Thuram; Gaëtan Laborde, Terem Moffi, Sofiane Diop.
JefeBet Prediction
For this great clash between Monaco vs Nice, we believe that the home team will take the three points. The more the season progresses, the more confident the team has become.
Meanwhile, Nice has proven to be consistent and as it fell in the last day of the UEFA Europa League (penalty kicks) against Leverkusen, the disappointment can be used as fuel for a good participation in the local tournament, because it is only seven points behind leaders PSG.
Prediction: Monaco win 2-1.
