Friday’s preliminary game of the sixth round of Ligue 1 will also be a battle for the top spot in the table. Monaco will welcome Nice, two teams that surprisingly do not play in the European Cups this season.
Monaco is on a roll after a bad season last year, unbeaten after five rounds and leading the Ligue 1 table.
Nice has picked itself up after an embarrassing start full of draws, winning 3-2 at PSG in the last round. They are currently fourth in the table and can go to the top of the table for at least a day if they win. It hasn’t lost yet either.
Monaco’s key figures
The home side is led by team captain Wissam Ben Yedder, the French striker has already scored four league goals. In the absence of the injured Breel Embol, the responsibility also lies with Takumi Minamine, the Japanese boasts a 3+3 record.
Nice’s key figures
Africa’s Terem Moffi has been rampant at the tip of the visitors’ attack, with the powerful Nigerian goal-killer striking three times and adding two assists. His offensive partner Gaëtan Laborde scored two goals, plus one assist.
Betting tip
Monaco have the most productive offensive line in the league with 15 shots, with Rennes and PSG second best on ten shots. At the same time, the Prince’s team is the only one to score at least one goal in all five games.
Nice’s forwards, on the other hand, are not at their best. With seven hits, it has the worst attack of the first half of the table. In addition, away from home, apart from last week in Paris, it has only won three of its last nine matches away from home.
Considering Monaco’s productivity, Nice’s offensive woes on the contrary, and also considering Ben Yedder’s individual quality, it can be predicted that the home side will win and remain at the top of the table after the sixth round.
