While waiting for a Classic still just as electric a little further west on the coast, Nice
And Monaco
will meet for a Riviera derby often full of twists and turns. Oddly enough, the two neighbors are not swimming in the same waters at all this season.
Best student in Ligue 1 behind Paris Saint-Germain, AS Monaco is still undefeated in this championship. With 4 small goals conceded, it is also the most airtight defense in the elite, while presenting an attack combining creativity and percussion.
In short, Monaco will be a big piece for these Aiglons. And the question of the calendar will not even be to the advantage of the Gym, since Franck Haise’s team played a day later than its rival, this Thursday, and did not particularly gain confidence by losing in Budapest against Ferencvaros (0-1). Eighth, the Niçois nevertheless showed that they were also capable of the best in their den. This derby therefore promises to be undecided.
The expected compositions:
Nice : Bulka – Mendy, Bombito, Abdelmonem – Clauss, Boudaoui, Rosario (c), Abdi – Guessand, Cho, Boga.
Monaco : Majecki – Vanderson, Singo, Kehrer, Ouattara – Zakaria (c), Camara – Akliouche, Golovin, Ben Seghir – Embolo.
Where to watch the match?
This match between OGC Nice and AS Monaco counting for the 9th day of Ligue 1 will be broadcast this Sunday on DAZN, from 5 p.m.
