Monaco and Nice face each other this Friday, for the 6th day of Ligue 1 (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Principality club.
After a more than laborious end to last season, AS Monaco and OGC Nice have started this 2023-24 campaign perfectly. The two neighbors are riding a fine streak of invincibility which has already put them at the top of the rankings. It is the Principality club which is leading the way since it is comfortably installed in the leadership chair. But the Monegasques will have to be wary of a Nice rival ready to make a move after their great victory in Paris last week (3-2), especially since a success would allow the Gym to overtake them.
Adi Hütter is aware of the task facing his men. “ This meeting will pit two undefeated teams at the top of the rankings against each other, he said. My players never give up even when we concede goals at the start of the match. We analyzed what was wrong so that we could become stronger and stronger. It’s part of the process. We will have to find the answer to thwart them on Friday. It will be a very good match. »
To try to bring down the Aiglons, Monaco will continue to rely on an offensive system. A 3-4-3 formation is still expected at kick-off, with an attractive trio at the forefront, Minamino and Golovin – in great form – supporting striker Ben Yedder. Other strong men of the Monegasque team are expected, such as world vice-champion Fofana.
The expected line-up for Monaco : Köhn – Singo, Maripan, Magassa – Vanderson, Camara, Fofana, Henrique – Minamino, Ben Yedder, Golovin.
