A narrow victory for Nice
With the best home record in the league, Nice will undoubtedly come under firm pressure when Monaco come to town.
Both teams are fighting at the top of the table, and aim to halt PSG in their tracks. That side could well be Nice, as they have collected 24 points from 10 games.
More impressively, the favourites have conceded just two goals across those matches, showing they are capable of beating anyone at home.
Looking at the recent head-to-head, Nice beat Monaco 1-0, and we expect a similar result this time around.
Bet 1: Nice to win @ 2.30 with Bet9ja
A cagey opening first half anticipated
With Nice being so strong defensively, we expect the first half between these two teams to be very close.
As mentioned, Nice have only conceded two goals at home this season. Meanwhile, Monaco have the fourth-best away record in Ligue 1.
When these two teams last met in round six, the scoreline was 0-0 in the first half before Nice won the match in the final minute.
With neither side likely to go all out attack in the first half, our second tip adds more value by adding a draw at the break.
Bet 2: Draw/Nice @ 5.70 with Bet9ja
All action in the second 45 minutes
If we predict the first 45 minutes to be tight, it is highly unlikely the match will finish 0-0. This is especially important since both teams managed just one 0-0 draw all season.
Nice have won six of their last domestic home matches. Monaco’s away matches have been great fun to watch with goals particularly packed in the second half. This has made them one of the most entertaining teams in Europe.
However, Nice are disciplined and organised and should be able to control Monaco’s attack. Yet, the hosts know how to win football games this season, and a second-half winner would help us land another tip.

Defences to limit goal-scoring opportunities
Although Monaco have produced high-scoring matches all season long, Nice should be able to keep them in check due to their solid defence.
Despite their impressive home form, Nice aren’t a team to blow others away.
Out of their last six home wins, only one has produced more than two goals. Even then, the scoreline remained 1-0 heading into the final 15 minutes.
The previous head-to-head this season saw Nice collect all three points with a narrow 1-0 victory, and we expect this scoreline once again.
Bet 4: 1-2 total match goals @ 2.02 with Bet9ja
