OGC Nice is set to face one of their toughest challenges of the season as they go head to head with Monaco.

With the two teams tied for 1st on points, the game is sure to be an entertaining affair with plenty of action throughout. PSG is just three points behind both clubs, so the three points will be an even incentive for the two teams.

Up to this point, both teams are having incredible seasons. They are proving that Ligue 1 is not just a one horse race consisting of PSG followed by every other team. It seems like a perfect time for the two teams to face off again, with both teams in stellar form.

Nice should have the upper hand in this match up, however, and should see themselves come away with all three points. These five key areas will be the reasons Nice will lead Ligue 1 after their game against Monaco.
