This Sunday evening, at 8:45 PM, for the 21st day of Ligue 1, OGC Nice will host AS Monaco at the Allianz Riviera. This derby promises to be heated, as the Monegasques want to forget their elimination from the Coupe de France, and the Niçois are keen to maintain good momentum.
Currently ranked second in Ligue 1, the Niçois have delivered a remarkable performance under the leadership of Francesco Farioli. Despite having a sometimes unsteady attack, the Eagles can rely on their defense. The Niçois have conceded only eleven goals this season, a key factor in their performances so far. Additionally, the Populaire Sud will be closed due to the pyrotechnics launched at the end of last year during the holidays. The Nice Ultras are thus placed close to the Monegasque supporters. This situation is enough to create some concern for this high-tension match.
ASM in a Bad Dynamic
First of all, the elimination from the Coupe de France against Rouen after a long penalty shootout was a hard blow for the Monegasques. Furthermore, ASM is coming off two draws in Ligue 1, first against Le Havre, then against Marseille. The most recent derby was won by the Niçois. In the last minute, Jeremy Boga delivered victory for the Eagles, not forgetting the outstanding performance of Marcin Bulka. The Niçois goalkeeper kept a clean sheet by saving two penalties.
This match will be officiated by referee Eric Wattelie. Join us at 8:45 PM on Sunday for the kickoff of this encounter.
