Nice disappoint their supporters with recent results. The team tanked Europa League and domestic cup competition for a chance to battle for the title in the league but they didn’t show solid results recently. Lucien Favre’s man failed to win in their last two Ligue 1 matches, drawing with Bordeaux and Metz, both 0-0. As the result, Nice let Monaco cover the spread and now both teams have the same 45 points after 20 matches played but Monaco are first due to impressive goal difference. Favre’s side is successful in matches on the road, suffering only one defeat and taking 18 points with 11-6 goal difference.
Neither of the teams have advantage in head-to-heads between the team. However, impressive away form and ambitions for the title suggest that Nice should prevail in the match as Bastia.
Prediction for the match: Nice to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
