Monaco vs PSG Predictions

• Monaco have lost their last three Ligue 1 matches
• PSG have won six of their last eight fixtures
• Seven of PSG’s last nine games have gone over 2.5 goals

Free-scoring Parisians can add to Monaco’s misery

Paris St-Germain flexed their attacking muscles in a 5-3 win at home to Tottenham in the Champions League on Wednesday and the Ligue 1 leaders should be licking their lips at the prospect of a trip to the Stade Louis II.

PSG are only two points clear of Marseille and Lens at the Ligue 1 summit so could do without a setback and six wins in their last eight matches in all competitions suggests that they are finding their groove.

The same cannot be said for the Monegasques, who were held to a 2-2 draw at Pafos in their midweek Champions League assignment and have suffered three league defeats on the spin to leave them eighth in the standings.

Having endured 4-1 hidings against Lens and Rennes in back-to-back fixtures in the French top-flight, Monaco have every right to be fearing the worst given the Parisians have racked up 11 goals in recording three straight wins.

Luis Enrique’s side have won six of their nine away games in all competitions and in that time they have put seven past Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, hit Toulouse for six and scored three against both Brest and Lyon.

Monaco have won only one of their last six at home and, having lost 4-2 when hosting PSG in the league last season, the recent misery may continue.

So a high-scoring PSG success looks likely and backing a 4-1 scoreline, the margin of Monaco’s last two league defeats, could represent value given the array of attacking talent at the disposal of the visitors.
