Monaco striker Mika Biereth goes into Saturday’s derby with Nice off the back of three successive hat-tricks in home Ligue 1 matches.

He has had at least three shots on target in each of the 4 home league games he has played since signing for Monaco in January, and has scored in all of them (he is 2.4 to score anytime here).

The former Arsenal striker has had seven shots on target across his last four starts for club and country, working out at 1.99 shots on target per 90.

Monaco have one of the highest shot counts in Ligue 1. They have attempted 16.1 per match when playing at home, which is the 2nd-highest figure behind only league leaders PSG.

Nice are not strong when it comes to preventing shots when playing on the road. Franck Haise’s side have given up an average of 13.4 shots per game, which ranks only 7th in Ligue 1, and suggests that Biereth will get opportunities.

Monaco centre-forward Breel Embolo have 2 shots on target when the sides met earlier this season. Monaco were handicapped on that occasion by having Vanderson sent-off after 45 minutes.
