Monaco

WWWWDW 📈

Monaco fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being a 0-3 Ligue 1 victory versus AJ Auxerre.

In that match, Monaco had 59% possession and 19 shots on goal with 9 of them on target. For Monaco, goals were scored by Thilo Kehrer (8'), Vanderson (25') and Denis Zakaria (89'). Auxerre had 13 shots at goal with 3 of them on target.

Monaco have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, hitting the target in each and every one of their last 6 matches.

They’ve totted up the amount of 13 during that period and have conceded a total of 1. That trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this match, of course.

Barcelona

WWWWWW 🎯

Barcelona will come into the clash after a 1-4 La Liga win vs Girona FC in their previous outing.

In that match, Barcelona had 55% possession and 20 attempts at goal with 9 on target. For Barcelona, the scorers were Lamine Yamal (30', 37'), Dani Olmo (47') and Pedri (64'). On the other side, Girona had 9 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Cristhian Stuani (80') was the scorer for Girona FC.

A series of steadfast displays by the Barcelona defensive unit has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their last 6 outings combined. In that time, their forwards have scored 17.

ℹ️ Team News: Monaco

Edan Diop (Foot injury) and Radoslaw Majecki (Ankle sprain) aren’t available for Monaco manager Adi Hütter.

In our view, Les Rouge et Blanc could line up in a 4-2-3-1 system for the game with Philipp Koehn, Vanderson, Thilo Kehrer, Mohammed Salisu, Kassoum Ouattara, Denis Zakaria, Soungoutou Magassa, Maghnes Akliouche, Aleksandr Golovin, Eliesse Ben Seghir and Breel Embolo.

📰 Team News: Barcelona

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Fermín López (Muscle injury), Gavi (Cruciate ligament tear), Dani Olmo (Muscle injury), Frenkie de Jong (Ankle injury), Ronald Araujo (Hamstring injury), Andreas Christensen (Achilles tendon irritation) and Marc Bernal (Cruciate ligament tear) are those who can’t be considered.

We reckon that Barça seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup by sending out M. ter Stegen, Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Alex Balde, Marc Casado, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Ferran Torres and Robert Lewandowski.

🧠 Prediction

We believe that Monaco have it in them to score a goal against this Barcelona lineup, but one goal isn’t likely to be enough.

Our selection here is for both teams to score in a 1-2 winning margin for Barcelona when all is said and done. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
