Monaco vs Nice Predictions

• Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals has landed in seven of the last 11 meetings between these two
• Only Angers have drawn more games than Nice’s eight in the French top flight
• Six of Monaco’s last seven home league games have produced three or more goals

European chasers face off in derby

Monaco and Nice are only separated by goals scored in the race for a Champions League spot in Ligue 1 and it looks set to be another enthralling affair when these two face off on Saturday.

Both teams have 47 points but Monaco have netted one goal more than Nice’s 51 to put them narrowly ahead before this matchup. 

The pair are realistically battling it out for a top three spot behind runaway leaders Paris Saint Germain, who are 21 points clear at the top of the table.

With both teams out of Europe and the Coupe De France, the league is their last attempt to get something from the current campaign.

Goals fancied

Both sides have had wobbles recently, Nice have picked up one point from their last two matches while Monaco have lost four of their last 11 in the league.

With neither side an overly attractive price it may pay to side with goals in this one.

Both teams have scored and over 2.5 goals has landed in seven of the last 11 meetings between these two and they could really put on a show in what should be an even affair.

Only Nantes have drawn more games than Nice’s eight this season so correct score backers should keep a 2-2 share of the spoils on side.
