Monaco v Nice Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: 16^th January 2019 (Kick-off 6 PM)

On Wednesday evening, Monaco hosts Nice at the Stade Louis ll, in a potentially crucial Ligue One clash for the home side.

Monaco are currently 19^th place in Ligue One, four points from safety and three points behind Dijon who occupy 17^th place and the relegation play-off spot. In contrast, Nice are eighth place and looking to break into the top six in the near future.

Monaco have won just one of their last five Ligue One games. However, the team from the principality did claim a respectable 1-1 draw with out-of-form Marseille last time out in the league.

Thierry Henry’s side has struggled for home wins of late, failing to win any of their last nine Ligue One games at the Stade Louis ll. They have also conceded at least two goals in their last five home matches in the French top-flight.

Top Football Bookmakers

Nice could move up as high as fifth in the table with a victory in this clash. Despite their potential lofty position, the visitors have won just once in their last five league games. A 1-0 win over Bordeaux last time out ended a four-game winless run in Ligue One for the visitors.

Nice have a mixed recent away record in Ligue One, but they have lost just once in six games on their travels in Ligue One.

Prediction

Away win and/or under 2.5 goals scored
