Ah, my people! Na here we dey again as we dey prepare for one big football wahala – the Derby de la Côte d’Azur! Na this Sunday dem go gather for Allianz Riviera, as Nice dey ready to welcome dem Monegasques!
Nice don dey for 13th place for table like say dem dey play hide and seek. Last month, dem draw 2-2 with Brest, no be small matter o! But no worry, dem get small chance to redeem dem self this weekend. Na im dem fit secure their first home win of 2026 after dem last victory which happen last year against Lille, wey dem beat 2-0 on matchday 10. E sure say dem wan shine as dem dey come from five matches wey dem no lose for home.
On top the other side, Monaco don finally find their groove, as dem beat Rennes 4-0. Na im dem break that long winless streak wey dey vex dem for the league. E be like say dem don wake up from sleep, as dem fit score four goals wey be three more than wetin dem score for the last four matches!
But no be say dem go just waka come Nice and come collect points, oh! Monaco get serious work as dem don dey struggle for away matches, no win for four domestics. Dem don collect 10 goals in just four away games. Them dey think of Champions League but they need to wake up sharp-sharp!
For injuries matter, both sides get wahala. Nice get two players wey dey sick, while some other players dey collect treatment for different injuries. Monaco too no dey far back; dem get players wey dey recover from knee issues and ankle sprains. Omo, injuries fit turn this match to drama!
We fit see some players to watch out for, like Simon Adingra wey go do him first start for Monaco after him debut last week. E don show promise, e suppose fit score if the ball reach am!
As per prediction, my paddy dem dey think say Nice fit edge this match with 2-1 win. Dem don gather momentum, while Monaco dey try find consistency like dem dey search for lost phone. Na serious matter!
This game dey show say e no be just three points o! Na matter of pride and who fit japa to Europe next season. Na the kind matches wey dey scatter hearts and keep people on edge of their seats. Make we see how e go be!
