Monaco hosts Nice in round 7 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Tuesday, September 24th at Stade Louis II (Monaco)
Monaco continues its rapid fall down. And it would have been a “one-off event” of the last season’s length, but everything continues in this season, already under Jardim. Currently, the Monegasques are on the penultimate line in the Ligue 1 standings. In the first 6 rounds, today's hosts could not win once, only having tied three times. And, oddly enough, Monaco plays even worse at home - defeat to Lyon and Marseille and a draw with Nimes, although Monaco led 2-0 after the first half in a duel with the latter. Now the hosts have quite serious problems with the lineup - Ben Yedder, Slimani, Geubbels will not play, Daniel Subasic still does not play. In recent years, the Monegasques played with Nice not very successfully - today's hosts managed to win only one of five last head-to-head matches...

But Nice looks very cool in this season – the Eaglets are placed on the 2nd line of the Ligue 1 standings and have the same points as PSG now. In the first 6 rounds, today's visitors lost only twice - to Montpellier and Lyon. For some reason, bookmakers do not believe in Nice at all, but the Eaglets show cool football. The team has its leaders, for example, Cyprien who scored 5 goals in 6 games. If Nice has problems, they are usually associated with defense. But given that Slimani and Ben Yedder, who have scored 6 of Monaco’s 7 goals in this season, will not play, Nice will have a very real chance of gaining points in this match.
It seems to me that bookmakers either underestimate Nice or blindly continue to believe in Monaco. The Monegasques frankly fail the second season in a row, and there are no prerequisites for a sharp jerk so far. Nice shows very cool football, so the chances of the visitors seem rather high to me. Bookmakers are surely mistaken – the victory of Nice with a +1 handicap!
Prediction for the match: Nice to win with +1.0 handicap
