In that match, Monaco had 56% possession and 16 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. For Monaco, the goalscorers were Mika Biereth (77') and Maghnes Akliouche (88'). For their opponents, Angers got 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target.

Matches with Monaco have tended to be engaging encounters recently with high scoring being a common characteristic. Over their past six games alone, the sum total of 24 goals have been scored for both sides combined (at an average of 4 goals per game) with 17 of them accredited to Monaco. That pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, however.

📰 Team News: Monaco

Jordan Teze (Torn thigh muscle), Soungoutou Magassa (Facial fracture), Kassoum Ouattara (Calf injury) and Folarin Balogun (Shoulder injury) won’t be able to feature for Monaco boss Adi Hütter.

It looks as if Les Rouge et Blanc should make use of the 4-2-3-1 system, beginning the first half with Philipp Koehn, Vanderson, Wilfried Singo, Thilo Kehrer, Caio Henrique, Denis Zakaria, Moatasem Al Musrati, Maghnes Akliouche, Takumi Minamino, Eliesse Ben Seghir and Mika Biereth.

🗞️ Team News: Nice

Nice boss Franck Haise has to currently contend with reduced team options. Morgan Sanson (Injury to the ankle) and Terem Moffi (Cruciate ligament tear) will miss out on this game.

We believe Les Aiglons will likely utilise a 4-4-2 lineup using Marcin Bulka, Moise Bombito, Y. Ndayishimiye, Dante, Tom Louchet, Hicham Boudaoui, Baptiste Santamaria, Ali Abdi, Evann Guessand, Sofiane Diop and Gaetan Laborde.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the view that Monaco will most probably dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

However, Nice are also probably going to find it difficult to score a goal of their own but we can see them scoring.

We’re tipping a controlled 3-1 victory for Monaco at the conclusion of the game.
