Ligue 1 – Match-day 6 Sees Nice take on AS Mónaco
Next Sunday at 8:45pm GMT, on matchday 6 of the Ligue 1, we will see Nice play Monaco at Allianz Rivera.
It’s a clash of fifteenth vs sixteenth, as Nice host Monaco at Allianz Rivera.
Nice face their opponents with equal points, with both keen to make progress
Lucien Favre will not wish to see his side lose three matches in a row, so they will doubtless go into this match, determined to change their recent, disappointing run of form.
Also, league success is all about winning football matches, any way you can, so two losses in three games would not make this a successful season for Nice. Their position is fifteenth in the League and they have five points, that is, 1W, 2L and 2D having won one game, drawn two fixtures, and lost two games.
Nice have drawn one game and lost one game of their two League matches at home this season.
A win in this fixture would take Nice’s points to 8 in the League.
Nice’s squad has depth, but even so, Lucien Favre is likely to be missing two of they key players when they start Sunday’s game.
AS Mónaco face his opponents, equal on points, both teams will doubtless be keen to make progress
Monaco will be eager to return to some kind of winning form, having lost their last game to Troyes, which itself followed a draw to Paris Saint-Germain, this fixture could be the opportunity.
Also, Philippe Clement knows that a run of two losses in three matches for his Monaco side, is going to be a tough run of form to change. However that is exactly what he must try to deliver. With a sixteenth position in the league and 1 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws, they currently have five points in the League having won one game, drawn two meetings, and lost two fixtures.
Monaco will travel to Nice with a win record on the road that is quite unremarkable, with one win and one dart.
Victory for AS Mónaco would take their points tally to 8 so far this season.
Monaco are no strangers this season to illness and injury and Philippe Clement is concerned that Sunday’s fixture could see him without two of his key players
