The Mediterranean derby between AS Monaco and OGC Nice headlines the 34th day of Ligue 1. AS Monaco hosts OGC Nice at the Louis II stadium in what promises to be a heated encounter. Despite Monaco’s recent setback in the Coupe de France, the outcome of this derby remains uncertain, with both teams vying for crucial points.
AS Monaco’s defeat to Guingamp in the Coupe de France semi-final dealt a blow to their season. With just five days remaining in the championship, Claudio Ranieri’s side, currently second in the league with a six-point lead over Lille, aims to secure their direct qualification for the next Champions League.
The loss to Guingamp has raised questions about Ranieri’s future at AS Monaco. However, players like the Tunisian defender Abdennour are determined to stand by their coach.
Abdennour expressed disappointment over the cup elimination but emphasized the need to focus on the upcoming derby. He stressed the importance of unity within the team and the coaching staff, highlighting their collective determination to win for their supporters.
