Monaco vs PSG Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - February 9, 2023

Monaco vs PSG
French Ligue 1
Date: 11 February 2023, Saturday
Kick-off at 16:00 UK / 17:00 CET
Venue: Stade Louis II (Monaco).

A real buzz is expected in and around Stade Louis II on Saturday afternoon when Monaco and PSG are set to lock horns in Matchday No 23 in Ligue 1.

The two outfits are currently separated by ten points in the league table. This is probably the last chance for Monaco to try and join the battle for the title and make the whole championship more entertaining with a three-pointer against the section-leaders.

Monaco will go into this on a high following back-to-back victories over Auxerre and Clermont. Defender Guillermo Maripan and striker Breel Embolo were on target last weekend in a comfortable road win at Clermont.

Monaco are now unbeaten in ten consecutive games across competitions (we included the 2-2 draw to lower-division Rodez and a shocking loss on penalties in Coupe de France here).

Head coach Philippe Clement can be worried about his squad’s recent defensive performances because Les Monegasques have kept just one clean sheet in the six outings across competitions.

This is by no means the defensive shape you want to carry into the clash with the deadliest offensive unit in the country.

On a positive note for the hosts, their Saturday counterparts are without two of their three main stars as both Kylian Mbappe and Neymar Jr are sidelined through injuries.

Lionel Messi carried the team to an important 2-1 victory over Toulouse last Sunday, a three-pointer that led PSG to an eight-point advantage atop the Ligue 1 table.

Monaco vs PSG Head-to-head

• Monaco stunned PSG 3-0 in the previous head to head encounter played at Stade Louis II, less than a year ago.
• Les Monegasques have three wins, one draw, and just two losses in the previous six head to head outings with Les Parisiens.
• Both teams scored just once in the previous five head to head encounters.

Monaco vs PSG Prediction

Monaco have done well against PSG in the recent years. Knowing the visitors will be without Mbappe and Neymar on Saturday, we have to try with the Home Win & Both Teams To Score pick at the odds of 5.50.

Those who are chasing longshots can try with the 2-1 correct score pick in the favor of the hosts at the 12.00 odds.
