Nice vs Monaco Prediction & Betting Tips (27 October)

Three successive matches without winning but without losing either, such is Nice's series in Ligue 1 before hosting Monaco this Sunday. Le Gym held off Lens 0-0 , PSG 1-1 and Nantes 1-1 recently . Thus, Franck Haise's men occupy 8th place in the ranking and have still not lost on their home field. They are also involved in the Europa League . Juggling between the two tables is not easy for the Gym which traveled to Budapest on Thursday to face Ferencvaros. A 3rd day of the Europa League which followed a draw and a defeat at the start of the C3 campaign. Monaco left its leading position in the Ligue 1 standings at the end of the last day.

The fault was a draw conceded at home in front of Lille 0-0 when PSG won for their part. The Asemist club, in second position, however has the same number of points as its Parisian rival while also still being undefeated 6 wins, 2 draws. Monaco also had to work hard in the middle of the week on the European scene. After beating FC Barcelona 2-1 and snatching a draw at Dinamo Zagreb 2-2 before the break, they hosted Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday with the aim of remaining undefeated in all competitions. Objective accomplished, and with style. A 5-1 victory. 

If the important corridor player Bard and the striker Cho with 2 goals in Ligue 1 make their return compared to the last day, the other Aiglons then unavailable against Nantes remain so. Among them, center forward Moffi, senior midfielders Ndombélé and Sanson and starting central defender Ndayishimiye. Still in defense, captain Dante, suspended last weekend, hoped to make his return in this derby but the Brazilian suffered a physical problem this week in training. Absent Thursday in the Europa League, he is uncertain against ASM. Nice relied on Guessand, scorer of his 4th goal in the league, to bring home the point from Nantes' draw.

 In Monaco, Adi Hütter must still cope without several elements, all injured: center forward Balogun (3 goals in Ligue 1) who will still miss several matches and young midfielder Edan Diop (no matches). In the defensive sector, central Salisu is uncertain and potential starter Teze at right back is suspended for this meeting and the next after being excluded last weekend. Minamino (1 goal in Ligue 1) was one of Monegasque's strong men midweek in the Champions League with his double.
