Monaco Preview – Les Monegasques to make it six wins on the spin?
Niko Kovac’s Monaco are in stunning form, winning each of their last five Ligue 1 games. In 2021, Les Monegasques have secured successive victories over the likes of Lorient, Angers, Montpellier, Marseille and Nantes, firing themselves into Champions League contention in the process.
Monaco have recovered expertly well from those three damaging defeats in a row in mid-December. Since then, Kovac’s side are undefeated in seven Ligue 1 games, collecting a staggering 19 points from a possible 21. Last Sunday, Monaco won 2-1 at Nantes to keep up their 100% winning record in 2021.
The club from Fontvieille have been hard to beat at the Stade Louis II this season, with just high-flying Lyon winning on their patch. Can Monaco secure a third straight home win with three points on Wednesday night?
Nice Preview – Another tough away day for the Eagles?
Nice finished fifth under Patrick Vieira last season but had a poor first half to this term, resulting in the sacking of the former Arsenal midfielder in December. The Nice board replaced him with Romanian Adrian Ursea.
Nice have been in woeful form over the past few months, as the Eagles have won just two of their previous 16 league and cup matches. However, Ursea’s men did pick up a rare win in their last outing on the road, with a Youcef Attal goal giving them a 1-0 victory at Lens.
