Nice take on the visitors Monaco at "Allianz Riviera" in the gameweek five of the French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, September 9th.
Nice have failed the start of the season, having not promoted to the UEFA Champions League Group stage after 0:4 aggregated defeat to Napoli in the qualification. After four rounds played in the Ligue 1, "Les Aiglons" occupy the 17th position in the table with three points earned and 3-6 goal difference. Lucien Favre's side conducted two home clashes in the new season, having gained 2:0 triumph over Guingamp and 1:2 loss to Troyes. Mario Balotelli, the team's main striker and leader, won't be able to help his teammates in the forthcoming encounter with Monaco due to his illness.

With four matchdays behind, Monaco settle on the second place in the Ligue 1 standings with 12 points taken and 14-4 goal difference. The visiting side has not been beaten across four consecutive games with last time the team lost was the match vs. Paris SG 1:2 in the French Super Cup on the 29th of July. Leonardo Jardim's side conducted two winning clashes at away grounds against Dijon 4:1 and Metz 1:0. Monaco are currently in a good competitive form and score a lot.
During recent five head-to-heads between the rivals, Monaco won four times with the only triumph gained by Nice. Leonardo Jardim's team is better prepared for the upcoming clash. I believe that it is going to be a one way fight which will be finished in favour of the visiting side.
Prediction for the match: Monaco to win.
