Nice form and stats

Only two Ligue 1 home games for Nice so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Nice, as their goalkeeper Walter Daniel Benitez has completely shut out the opponents for 410 minutes in the Ligue 1.

Happy days for Nice in their previous game, a Ligue 1 match away at Nantes (placed 14th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Nice goalkeeper Walter Benítez did an outstanding job against Nantes with six saves, so vital to securing the victory. Goalkeeper Walter Benítez got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.11 out of ten. Benítez stopped the opponent with six saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Bordeaux in a game that was won 4-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Nice have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won four, drawn one and lost three.

The manager C. Galtier will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Lorient in only three days.

At Allianz Riviera, Nice has the goal stats of 4-0 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Monaco form and stats

A 0-2 loss hosting Olympique Marseille before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Monaco in our archives, and the results are: one win for Monaco, two draws and two defeats.

A new game in only three days for Monaco, the Ligue 1 home match versus Saint-Etienne. Busy days.
