AS Monaco come into the game on the back a disappointing 3-2 defeat at home by Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the Europa League on Thursday night. The result saw the match go to extra time and penalties, with the German team coming out on top.
That was the first defeat in 9 matches for AS Monaco and will have come as a bit of a shock to the system. AS Monaco are undefeated in 8 of their last 9 matches in all competitions and have won 5 of their 6 most recent fixtures.
Trends show AS Monaco are undefeated in their last 9 Ligue 1 games, winning 7 of those matches, including each of their last 4. AS Monaco are undefeated in 30 of their last 34 Ligue 1 games
Home form in Ligue 1 shows AS Monaco have won each of their last 4 games. The wins have come over Brest, Ajaccio, Auxerre, and Paris Saint-Germain. Both teams have scored in 4 of AS Monaco’s last 5 home league fixtures.
OGC Nice make the short journey to the Stade Louis II having been held to a 0-0 draw at home by Reims in Ligue 1 last weekend. That result means OGC Nice are undefeated in each of their last 7 matches, all of which have been in Ligue 1.
They have won 4 of their last 5 league games, with the wins coming over Lille and Ajaccio at home plus Lens and Marseille away.
Away form in the league shows OGC Nice are undefeated in 6 of their last 7 matches. They have lost only 2 of their last 10 away Ligue 1 fixtures and the recent win at second place Marseille shows what they are capable of on the road.
OGC Nice have found the back of the net in 9 of their last 10 away league matches but have kept only 2 clean sheets in their last 8 away Ligue 1 games.
Team news and AS Monaco are without the injured duo of Guillermo Maripán and Vanderson.
OGC Nice have four players unavailable for this match, with Joe Bryan, Nicolas Pepe, Youcef Atal, and Marcin Bulka in the treatment room.
AS Monaco want to keep the pressure on the top two, who meet this weekend but could find life tough in this game. OGC Nice are in good form and with AS Monaco coming off a disappointing defeat on Thursday, could get something from this game.
We expect to see both teams scoring and it could be OGC Nice who come away with the victory.
