Sunday sees a Ligue 1 clash at the Allianz Riviera, as Nice play host to Monaco.Nice are flying high in the table and currently sit in fourth, while Monaco have been struggling somewhat and have just one win under their belt.Can Nice’s strong start continue with another win or will Monaco return to the form that saw them finish third last season?Nice vs Monaco Head-to-HeadNice pulled off a major coup by bringing former Lille boss Christophe Galtier to the Allianz Riviera this summer, and thus far at least, it’s a move that’s paid off.Nice have won three of their opening four games in the current season and have yet to concede a goal. Their most recent win came over Nantes last weekend thanks to late goals from Kasper Dolberg and Amine Gouiri.The only black mark on their campaign thus far has been the crowd trouble that saw their game with Marseille called off – but even then, Galtier’s side were winning at the point that the match ended.Monaco, on the other hand, have not gotten close to their 2020-21 form thus far into the current campaign. They’ve suffered three losses in their first five games, including their most recent match – a 0-2 defeat to Marseille.Niko Kovac’s side have only picked up one victory thus far, a 1-2 win over newly promoted Troyes – meaning that another poor result here could put pressure on the Croatian’s job.Monaco did at least pick up a win in Europe this week, defeating Sturm Graz 1-0 in the Europa League after they failed to make the Champions League’s group stage.Recent head-to-head meetings between the two have favored Monaco, though. They beat Nice three times last season, including a win in the Coupe de France.Nice form guide: D-D-W-W-WMonaco form guide: L-D-W-L-WOGC Nice 🇬🇧🇺🇸@ogcnice_eng🗣 "The substitutes, you are doing us a world of good...

This could be a good game for the home side, particularly as Monaco may be tired from their European exertions.Prediction: Nice 2-1 Monaco
