Being a derby many bettors are going to go on a small total goals, and for up to 2 success rate is very good, 2.22. Must consider though that is involved in this game with the highest team in the championship top offensive force. To match between Monaco and Nice I chose a tip type 1X2. I know it is risky, but I think it has a good chance to get out. See below my forecast but argued details and statistics on both teams.
