It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Nice and Monaco.

Nice form and stats

Nice have collected 1 point from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 0-1-1.

Nice enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Lille's place. The match ended 2-1 with Delort and Pépé scoring. Sweet to taste a league win after four games without.

Ahead of that match, Nice lost 0-3 at home to Olympique Marseille.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Nice as they have a new game in only four days, a Europa Conference League match thankfully also at home. Köln are visiting.

Nice has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Monaco form and stats

Four points from two away games for Monaco, meaning one draw and one victory in the Ligue 1 so far.

Monaco have lots to remedy after their unexpected loss (2-4) to Troyes in their previous outing, played at home. As you can tell from the result, the match against Troyes was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? It is worrying for Monaco that their keeper Nübel pulled off seven saves in the Troyes fixture, but still could not prevent a beating. Midfielder Golovin was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.44. Golovin hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that, Monaco travelled to Paris Saint Germain and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Goals from both teams? This side's fresh statistics suggest that, having completed 5 league games in a row with one or more goals from each team.

The schedule is very tough for Monaco now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Europa League game at Crvena Zvezda is waiting in only four days.

Monaco have the goal stats of 3-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Monaco have managed a streak of 5 consecutive matches without defeat (4-1-0) when playing Nice.
