An interesting clash with ramifications on the European positions in France will take place on Sunday, as second-place Nice host AS Monaco. Both sides come into the clash this weekend after being held to draws in the latest round of matches.
Nice will be delighted with the start to the season that they have made this term, but they will be too aware that the battle for a Champions League spot will heat up as the season progresses. At present, the hosts come into this match sitting second in the standings, but they boast only a four-point advantage over fourth-place Lille.
Nice’s form has been slightly inconsistent in recent weeks after winning just twice in their last five. Over that period, the French club have also suffered two defeats. However, they come into this round of games after going two without a defeat. Nice weren’t at their best last weekend, as they could only play out a 0-0 draw with Brest. In that match, they registered only one shot on target.
Monaco will be the visitors this weekend, as the Ligue 1 club look for a big three points that could move them back into the top three positions. However, they will need to rediscover their form after going three without a win. Meanwhile, they have landed just a single victory over their last five fixtures in the competition.
Monaco played out a second straight draw in their previous match against Le Havre. Despite dominating the fixture, they couldn’t net a second goal in the final stages to land maximum points, with the visitors stealing a point despite failing to record a single effort on target.
Nice have picked up victories in each of their last two matches against their local rivals without conceding a goal. However they are without a home win against Monaco in their last three attempts, with their most recent home victory being recorded in March 2020.
Nice don’t have the best home record in this fixture, and that could be a pressing concern ahead of this weekend. However, Monaco have also struggled for victories in recent weeks. Therefore, a score draw could be a likely outcome when these sides collide on Sunday.
