Prediction: 1-1
Nice
High-flying Monaco will look to extend their winning run to five games when they take on Nice in the Ligue 1 round 25. Les Rouges et Blancs have been impressive in the French top flight of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Dutch forward Myron Boadu is pushing for a start as Philippe Clement should opt to mix the squad due to the tough fixture list, while Aguilar, Maripan, Martins, Volland, and Vanderson are sidelined with injuries.
Les Aiglons, on the other hand, recorded four wins in the previous five league matches, but, no doubt, they should be happy with one point from Sunday’s showdown. All Nicolas Pepe, Joe Bryan, Youcef Atal, and Marcin Bulka should miss out through injuries for the visiting team. It has to be noted that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last two meetings in the French top flight.
