Nice to end Ligue One campaign on a winning note

2248

On Friday night, Nice host Monaco at the Allianz Riviera, as both sides look to win their final Ligue One game of the campaign.

Nice have enjoyed a solid season under Patrick Vieira in his first campaign as boss. They are currently eighth place in Ligue One, but the highest the home side can now finish is seventh-place in the table after a poor recent run of results in the French top-flight.

In fact, the team from the French Riviera have won just one of their last six Ligue One matches. Last time out in Ligue One, they suffered a 3-0 defeat at Saint Etienne.

The defeat against Saint-Etienne was a rare high-scoring game for Nice in the French top-flight, as ten of their last 12 league games have produced under 2.5 goals.

Nice have a slightly inconsistent recent home record in Ligue One, winning just two of their last five league games on home soil in the French top-flight. However, they have been hard to beat on their own patch, losing just one of their last 13 home outings in Ligue One.

Monaco will be glad to see the back of the current campaign. The team from the principality have endured a bit of a nightmare season, having spent the majority of their campaign at the wrong end of the table.

Leonardo Jardim’s team are just three points above the relegation play-off spot. However, due to a superior goal difference of seven to 18th place Caen, they look unlikely to suffer relegation this season.

Last time out, Monaco recorded a 2-0 win over Amiens that ended a seven-game winless run for Jardim’s team in French top-flight.

The visitors have a poor recent away record in Ligue One, winning just once in ten league matches on their travels.

Forebet predicts that Nice will end their Ligue One campaign with a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
