Monaco will be looking to extend their winning streak to five games in the Ligue 1 when they welcome Nice to Stade Louis ll on Wednesday at 20:00 EAT.
Monaco has been recording excellent displays in the league of late. As a result, they have found a spot very near to the safe zone. They are currently at the sixth spot level with Strasbourg who sits inside the safe zone in points. The Monegasques came from behind to close the gap to their third-placed opponents to three points, keeping the club very much in the mix for the Champions League positions.
Monaco prepare for this fixture confident following 2-3 Ligue 1 victory over Rennes in their last outing. In that game, Monaco had 36% possession, 12 shots with four of them on target and goals scored by Vanderson (12′), Wissam Ben Yedder (57′) and Myron Boadu (77′). Rennes FC got 13 shots with four of them on target and goals by Flavien Tait (3′) and Martin Terrier (93′).
On the other hand, with a total of 54 points Nice sits at the 4th place inside the safe zone. The club has been showing a decent form since the beginning of the season. However, their form has been bit worrying of late going winless in four out of their last five matches.
Nice will look to make it back to back win again after 2-1 Ligue 1 victory to beat FC Lorient in their previous match. In that game, Nice had 64% possession, 15 shots with two of them on target and goals scord by Andy Delort (54′, 88′). FC Lorient got six shots with one of them on target and a goal by Armand Laurienté (61′).
