This Derby de la Côte d’Azur sees two clubs in the same region with contrasting fortunes at this beginning of the season square up against each other.
Nice finally won their first league game of the season by beating Lille in their last match, with Nicolas Pepe scoring.
The Arsenal loanee is an important addition to their squad and he would need to be in top shape to help them achieve success in this campaign.
Monaco has made a terrible start to this campaign and their form has worsened since they lost their Champions League qualifying match to PSV.
They have no win and three losses from their last five matches in all competition and will want to end this dreadful run of form in this fixture.
Troyes beat them at home the last time, but they had almost beaten PSG in the previous game, ending it in a 1-1 draw in Paris.
If they perform that well here, they could get the win, but Nice also know they cannot lose to their crosstown rivals.
Monaco has won four and lost none of the last five head to head records in this fixture.
