On February 26, Monaco will host Nice for the Ligue 1 Week 26 clash. Will hosts get a victory? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Monaco
FranceMonaco gained an impressive level of form - team had consistency problems during the first half of the season and was outside of European competitions zone. But Monegasques gained momentum after the 2022 World Cup, climbing up to the 3rd position. Now team is just two points behind 2nd placed Marseille. Philippe Clement's men are currently on a four-game winning streak. Among others, the Red-Whites managed to beat PSG (3:1).
However, Monaco failed to succeed in the Europa League. Team had to face Bayer in the round of 32. Both matches ended with the same score of 3:2, but Monegasques lost on penalties. Clement's men have problems with defense - they conceded 31 goals, ten more than other Top-4 clubs.
Nice
FranceNice are enjoying a solid Ligue 1 season. Club is currently on a seven-game unbeaten run. In that period, the Eaglets had just two draws and five victories. Among others, Didier Digard's men managed to beat 2nd-placed Marseille (3:1).
The Gym were not so successful during the first half of the season, that's why they are still at mid-table. With 38 points, team sits 8th in the standings, six points away from Top-6. Unlike Monaco, Digard's men are quite successful on defense - they conceded only 21 goals in the current season.

Tip and bets
We are expecting a high-scoring game here. Monaco try to reach the 2nd position in the standings, so they will be fired up for the upcoming game. But Clement's men will probably put up a poor defensive performance, like they always do. Players will be tired after the Europa League encounter against Bayer, so Nice will surely have a chance to score.
Our prediction - total over 2.5 goals
However, we offer to place a bet on the hosts here. Monaco are currently on a long winning streak. Monegasques got eliminated from the Europa League, but now they will be even more motivated for Ligue 1. It will be tough for Nice to beat Clement's men, who are just two points away from the 2nd spot.
The Eaglets achieved the majority of their recent victories in home matches, Digard's men are not so strong on away games, so hosts seem more preferable.
Our second bet is on Monaco to win
