Betting Tips
Only four teams in France’s Ligue 1 are unbeaten, and two of those teams will face off on Friday when Monaco hosts Nice at the Stade Louis II. After five games in Ligue 1, the home team is in first place, two points ahead of Les Monegasques, while the visitors are in fourth.
Monaco vs Nice
In the French Premier Division, they were in contention for third place and a berth in the Champions League just four rounds before the season ended, but a dreadful run of form that produced just one point from the final four games caused them to fall out of the top five. Monaco will now only concentrate on internal issues and aim to unseat PSG from the top rank because it has no European obligations.
The management’s choice to hand over the club’s management to Adi Hutter during the summer has shown to be a wise one, as the “Monegasques” are performing excellently under the German coach, as seen by their standing in the Ligue 1 standings.
OGC Nice’s disappointing ninth-place finish in the previous campaign, which represented a considerable step back from their fifth-place finish in the 2020–21 campaign that earned them a position in Europe, left a bitter taste in their mouths. Nevertheless, Les Aiglons have reason for optimism given their promising start to the current season.
Despite a sluggish start to the campaign that included three straight draws against Lille, Lorient, and Lyon, the club from the French Riviera rapidly recovered and last week won outstanding matches against Strasbourg 2-0 and Paris SG 3-2. They now hold third position in the standings with nine points, two points behind AS Monaco, the team they will face on Friday.
Verdict
Monaco enters the matchup with OGC Nice with just a two-point lead as opposed to a four-point advantage after failing to hold onto their slim lead in the road match against Lorient last weekend, settling for a 2-2 draw. The Principality club is now focused on quickly returning to the winning column and maintaining their advantage after relying on their impressive performances at home in the opening two games, where they defeated both Strasbourg and Lens with identical 3-0 scores.
Monaco is prepared to confront Les Aiglons and is keen to make the most of their strongest asset in order to earn crucial three points. Les Aiglons have gained confidence as a result of their surprising victory over champions PSG last week at Parc des Princes (3-2). Simply put, the Princely assault appears unstoppable after scoring an amazing 15 goals in five Ligue 1 games, averaging three goals per contest.
Additionally, Monaco has demonstrated its superiority in the Derby de la Côte d’Azur in recent years by defeating OGC Nice five times in the last seven meetings. As a result, we predict that Adi Hutter’s team will win this encounter, which promises to be vibrant and interesting.
Since Nice has yet to keep a clean sheet on the road and Monaco has scored in every game, the visitors may need to score multiple goals to win, and a 3-1 victory for the visitors seems like a plausible prediction. Although Monaco has not yet let up a goal at home, Nice has scored five goals in their last two games, and in the three games where Monaco’s opponents have scored, they have given up a total of seven goals.
