Monaco vs Nice Prediction and Betting tips | 20th April 2022

Monaco will entertain local rivals Nice at the Stade Louis II in Ligue 1 action on Wednesday.

The French Riviera-based clubs are in the top-four race this term. Four wins in a row have helped Monaco climb up to sixth place in the standings. In their previous outing, they overcame third-placed Rennes in a highly entertaining fixture, securing a 3-2 win.

Nice, though, have stumbled in their recent league outings but returned to winning ways against Lorient. Andy Delort bagged a second-half brace to secure a 2-1 win for Les Aiglons.

Monaco vs Nice Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Monaco vs Nice Prediction

Monaco have hit top form recently, securing four wins in a row, though their last three games have been decided by slender one-goal margins. They have scored at least two goals in their last four outings, including an impressive 3-0 win against league leaders Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

Nice, meanwhile, have hit a rough patch in recent fixtures and have just one win in their last five games. Their 2-1 win against Lorient last time around marked the first time since January they scored two goals in a league game.

When the two rivals clash in midweek, the stakes will be high. Not only will they be playing for the bragging rights but also to cement their positions in the league standings. Given their fine recent form, though, Monaco should be able to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Monaco 2-1 Nice.
