Monaco will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 1-2 Ligue 1 success versus Nice.

In that game, Monaco had 38% possession and 15 shots at goal with 8 on target. For Monaco, goals were scored by Axel Disasi (23') and Sofiane Diop (53'). OGC Nice had 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Pierre Lees-Melou (69') scored for Nice.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent times that Monaco haven’t conceded. In fact, Les Rouge et Blanc have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 9 goals in the process. Regardless, we’ll just have to find out whether that trend shall be replicated here in this match.

Pre-game facts show that Monaco:

• have not won against Paris Saint-Germain in their last 7 league games.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 8 home league matches. A run that they'll hope to extend here.

💭 Prediction

Our thinking is that PSG should get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.

Conversely, Monaco might well find it difficult to score but we do see them converting at least once here.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 1-3 margin for PSG when the full-time whistle blows.
