Monaco vs PSG Prediction & Match Preview

• Both teams scored in all of Monaco’s last ten games across competitions.
• PSG boast the best attacking record in Ligue 1.
• Monaco won the past two home outings against Les Parisiens.

Monaco broke into the top-three in the Ligue 1 table with a big 3-2 road win over Lens on Sunday. Takumi Minamino fired the late winner in the second minute of stoppage time, ten minutes after Folarin Balogun’s missed penalty-kick. Les Monegasques will face a very difficult task in an attempt to back up this victory as they play host to sovereign table-toppers PSG on Friday evening at Stade Louis Ii.

PSG also bagged a stoppage-time goal five days ago. Theirs was one-point worth, though. Substitute Goncalo Ramos made no mistake from the spot-kick to help his team preserve a 14-game unbeaten thread across competitions in a 1-1 home draw to Rennes.

Les Parisiens are eleven points clear at the top of the league standings. We would not be surprised to see Luis Enrique mixing up his starting XI for Friday’s clash at Stade Louis II as PSG travel to Spain to take on Real Sociedad in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League R16 tie next Wednesday.

Recent Meetings

• PSG demolished Monaco 5-2 in the return game played in the first half of the season at Parc des Princes.
• Monaco had earlier been on a three-game unbeaten run in the matches with PSG.
• Both teams scored in each of the previous three H2H encounters.

Monaco vs PSG Prediction

This match carries a much greater importance for Monaco. They did break into the top-three in the league table but are just one point above Nice. Les Monegasques play attractive football under Austrian manager Adi Hutter. We saw goals at both ends in each of Monaco’s last ten outings in all competitions. They do leave plenty of space in defence as well. Les Monegasques shipped at least two goals in each of the last three Ligue 1 affairs, although they’ve won two in the process. PSG boast the best attacking record in the division with 54 goals scored in 23 matches. Both teams were on target in each of the last three head-to-head affairs. We’ve seen seven goals in the reverse game played in November last year in Paris. The Over 3.5 goals FT bet is the way to go and you can back it at the 2.30 odds.

The value is with Monaco not to lose at the 1.80 odds. Les Monegasques claimed super-important road wins over the likes of Nice and Lens in February. PSG have been on an excellent winning streak of late but things in their dressing room are far from ideal after Kylian Mbappe’s statement about leaving the club this coming summer. Also, Les Parisiens will have the Champions League tie with Real Sociedad in mind. Lastly, Monaco won the last two home clashes against PSG.
