AS Monaco vs Nice prediction
Top flight football action continues on Friday as Monaco take on Nice in the opening Matchday 6 fixture. With 3 wins and 2 draws, Monaco sit at the summit, with 11 points from 5 games, an indication of how good their season has been going so far. Although it is still early days, Monaco will be eyeing all 3 points here, to stay in position for a top four finish just like they did in 2020/21 and 2021/22 season when they ended 3rd on the log. They head into this tie on the back of a 2-2 draw at Lorient, a game in which Folarin Balogun’s 69th minute strike was evened out by Faivre’s late equalizer. Here, they will look to avoid a consecutive home loss to Nice having fallen to a 3-0 defeat back in February.
On their part, Nice will be motivated by last season’s 3-0 triumph away at Monaco and how they ran away with a 3-2 win against PSG last time out. In fact, that win in Paris was Nice’s first since a 1-0 victory in 2009, keeping them unbeaten in the opening 5 league games for the second time in the last 3 seasons, having done same in 2021/22 campaign. Here, their confidence will be bolstered by the current form and how prolific they have been so far this season.
A look at past meetings between both sides gives us a picture of what could be a straight forward outing for Monaco. In fact, both teams have met 44 times with Monaco clinching 20 as against Nice’s 14 wins. Hence, for our Monaco Vs Nice prediction, we are expecting a win for the home team or the selection will be voided if it ends in a draw.

Prediction 1: Monaco Win (DNB)
Monaco have evolved from the woes of the past to create a youthful side with flair, passion and of course, an eye for goal.

For Nice, they are enjoying a top run of form which culminated into that famous win away at PSG last time out. Just like Monaco, Nice are blessed with young forward players with an impeccable goal scoring ability, thereby making them a force to reckon with this term. However, h2h record seem to favor Monaco heading into this game, regardless of the strides Nice seem to have achieved recently. Based on this, we expect a win for Monaco or the bet will be voided if it ends in a draw.
