Monaco - Nice predictions

Monaco are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 1.92 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Nice may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Monaco, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

Most Ligue 1 betting predictions easily saw their most recent 0:2 triumph coming. They were generally seen as the hard favourites compared to their opponents Angers SCO despite the home-field disadvantage. That said, the entire goal difference was built up in the second half.

Sportsbooks predicted things to go well for Nice in the previous round – they had a solid lead in a home game against Auxerre. The second half caught them off guard, however, and they had to settle for a 1:1 draw in a home game.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

With their recent performances in mind, we can expect Nice to perform quite well offensively. They recorded over 5 goals in their latest 3 away games – the lack of home-field advantage isn’t a big factor for them.

Even though they are occupying the Champions League spot, Monaco need 21 point to reach the very top of the ladder. This upcoming match offers a decent shot at closing the difference behind the league leaders.

Nice are just 21 point between the top position in the standings, meaning they are well on their way to a Champions League qualification. Experts are sceptical of their chances to close the gap this Saturday, though.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current Ligue 1 season. Nice won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.57 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
