Team News

Monaco
Nice
  • Monaco may go with the same XI that started the 2-0 win over Angers prior to the international break, with Mika Biereth looking to maintain his flying home form.
  • The home side have five confirmed absentees for Saturday's welcome of rivals Nice.
  • Among those is Folarin Balogun, who continues to miss out owing to a problematic shoulder problem.
  • Nice will be forced into one change for Saturday's game at Monaco, with Melvin Bard suspended following his dismissal in the 1-1 draw with Auxerre prior to the international break.
  • Ali Abdi may deputise on the left, in what may prove their only change from the XI that started the aforementioned stalemate.
  • Morgan Sanson, Terem Moffi and Tanguy Ndombele all miss out due to injury.

Prediction

  • Monaco have been inconsistent of late, but have lost only one of their last six heading into Saturday's welcome of rivals Nice. Adi Hutter's side have won two of their last three, and have crucially won five of their last six at home.
  • Nice sit behind Monaco on goal difference only heading into the weekend's action. They failed to win their final two games before the domestic hiatus, but had won the previous four.
  • Nice have won their last two trips to Monaco, but it's the home side, spearheaded by the in-form Mika Biereth, that should secure all the spoils this weekend.
