Nice vs. Monaco: French Championship Match Prediction
The ninth round of Ligue 1 will feature a match between two French teams playing in European competitions: Nice and Monaco.

Command Analysis

Nice

Current form
Nice results are not to be taken lightly. In 11 matches in all competitions, they have won only two, and both were against opponents who have only just returned to Ligue 1 this season. The hosts of the upcoming match have drawn their last three matches and, after eight matches played, are in tenth place in the standings with 10 points.
Frank Heise men play their best matches on the domestic stage. This season, four matches were played with the support of the local crowd, and the club did not lose any of them (three draws and a win). In the last two games, the draws were with PSG and Real Sociedad in the Europa League. Both matches ended with a score of 1:1.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sanson, Ndombele and Moffie are injured and will not appear on the pitch.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nice have not lost at home this season
- The hosts have not been able to win for six matches in a row
Estimated lineup : Bulka - Mendi, Bombito, Bard - Kloss, Rosario, Budaoui, Abdi - Shaw, Gessand, Boga

Monaco

Current form
In the last round, Monaco shared points with Lille, playing to a goalless draw. The Parisians took advantage of this oversight and surpassed the Monegasques in goal difference. The hosts have the best defense in the entire championship, as they have conceded only four goals in eight rounds played. Also, Adi Hunter charges, along with PSG, are the two teams that have not suffered a single defeat in the national championship. It will be interesting to see how long the team can maintain this pace.
It is worth noting that in the last match the visitors won a confident victory over Crvena Zvezda in the third round of the Champions League with a score of 5:1.
Disqualifications and injuries
Salisu, Balogane and Diop are injured, while Tesche will not appear on the field due to disqualification.
Interesting trends for betting
- Monaco have gone 12 games unbeaten
- The visitors have failed to score only once in their last ten matches.
Probable line-up : Majecki – Wanderson, Shingo, Kehrer, Caio Henrique – Zakaria, Kamara – Akliush, Minamino, Golovin – Embolo.

It should be noted that the "eagles" have not lost a single home match this season, including the game with PSG. However, the Parisians have not shown their best game on the road lately.
The Monegasques have no problems in away matches of the championship: they have already beaten Lyon, Auxerre and Rennes on their fields. In addition, Adi Hutter charges have a significant advantage in personal meetings. All this leads to the idea that Monaco will achieve another victory and continue to fight with PSG for the leadership in the tournament table.
Our prediction is a victory for Monaco with odds of 2.24

In February of this year, the rivals played each other on this field, and then the Monegasques won the match with a score of 3:2. It is not a fact that the upcoming match will be as productive, but the rivals are quite capable of scoring once each in the national championship.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.64
Bet on corners
Based on all of the above, it is clear that today we are expecting an open game with many dangerous moments and a decent number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.72
