OGC Nice vs AS Monaco Prediction: OGC Nice are holding all the aces

OGC Nice have a tough job on their hands when AS Monaco come to town. Nice have been the better team in the weeks leading to this game as they are currently unbeaten in their last 4 games in all competitions. But it's always one hell of a game when they face AS Monaco at the Allianz Riviera. Because OGC Nice have failed to beat AS Monaco on that ground in their last 4 meetings. 

For AS Monaco, the search for a win continues as it has continued to elude them in their last 3 games in a row. They had back-to-back draws in the Ligue 1 and then they were knocked out of the Coup de France by a lower division side a few days ago. But AS Monaco have very fond memories of the Allianz Riviera and they hope to snatch a positive result against OGC Nice.

OGC Nice

OGC Nice were unstoppable in their last game against Montpellier. It was a Coup de France game and OGC Nice won by 4 goals to 1. Youssof Ndayishimiye, Tom Louchet and Mohammed-Ali Cho were all on target in the first half and then Alex Claude-Maurice scored the 4th goal from the spot in the second half. And Modibo Sagnan managed to pull one goal back for Montpellier but it made no difference as the game ended in a win for OGC Nice.

OGC Nice have also built a good run in the Ligue 1 with their last 3 matches ending in 2 wins and 1 draw. With the momentum already building, OGC Nice will be hoping to continue with another win over AS Monaco at home. 

And according to the table, OGC Nice remain in 2nd place with 39 points from 20 matches.

AS Monaco

AS Monaco are on the verge of losing their place on the table after series of poor performances in recent weeks. Unless they get a win, they would need RC Lens to lose their game in order to retain their place. 

AS Monaco are currently without a win in their last 3 games in all competitions. They played back-to-back draws against Olympique Marseille and Le Havre, before losing on penalties against Rouen in the Coup de France round of 16. 

Their last 4 trips to the Allianz Riviera had been productive but they will need to raise up their game to get any form of positive result against OGC Nice in this match. OGC Nice had already beaten AS Monaco earlier in the season and they will be eager to prevent losing for the second time.

At the moment, AS Monaco are in 5th place on the table with 35 points from 20 matches.

Head to Head

According to the head-to-head record, in 20 matches against each other, AS Monaco won 11 matches, while OGC Nice won 6 matches and 3 matches ended in a draw.

Analysis and Predictions

At the moment, OGC Nice are holding all the cards and they can dictate how this game ends. Notwithstanding, both sides would need to be on top of their game to grind a win here irrespective of their current form. 

According to the analysis of their previous meetings, AS Monaco scored first in 8 of their last 10 meetings. There were less than 4.5 cards in 6 of their last 8 meetings and less than 10.5 corners in 8 of their last 9 meetings against each other.
