Nice - Monaco predictions

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against Nice on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

Apoint is never as interesting as a punter would want it to be but Nice will surely have been pleased with a Brest draw from the previous trip in the Ligue 1. They return home for the Sunday clash feeling good about themselves after going level throughout both terms.

Monaco’s latest home game performance was fairly dull, and it didn’t show them in a great light. That particular bout against Le Havre produced no winners in either half of the match, resulting in a 1:1 draw.

The home team for this match is on a bit of a trend – a boring one, at that. Their previous 2 Ligue 1 games ended with less than 2 goals.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Monaco have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Ligue 1. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

With 39 points earned so far, Nice are one of the title challengers this season. They’ve performed quite well so far and are just 8 points below the table leaders. That said, making up the difference will not be easy with Sunday’s matchup.

With close to half of the season behind us, Monaco are looking fairly strong. They’re still in contention for the title, being number 5th in the standings. Nice are one of the harder challenges they have to face if they wish to move up, though.

These two teams already clashed this season, and Nice walked away with a solid away win. It was fairly narrow, though, giving Monaco supporters some hope for this game despite the unfavourable matchup.

A Home Win at the odds of 2.37 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
