Nice, runner-up to PSG in the championship, hosts Monaco, fifth, just eliminated from the round of 16 of the Coupe de France against Rouen. Both teams are less flamboyant than at the start of the season.
Nice has a mixed record over its last five matches (2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats), ASM is also in trouble. Despite the form of Wissam Ben Yedder (6 goals in the last 6 domestic matches), the Monegasques have won only one of their last five outings in Ligue 1.
