The two major clubs of the French Riviera will meet this Sunday at 5 PM at Stade Louis II for what could be one of the biggest matches of the season.
The context of the encounter goes well beyond a simple derby; it’s a high-stakes match between two teams that are shining in this second part of the Ligue 1 season.
Nice, unbeaten since January 4, is gradually approaching the European spots, while Monaco, a title contender, is 7 points behind the leading PSG, and they will be playing an essential part of their season in this matchup.
After their defeat on penalties this week, the Monégasques will be eager to find victory against Nice. The Eagles will, as usual, be supported by their fans making the traditional trip to the Principality.
Everything seems set for what promises to be a great derby!
