Monaco vs PSG Predictions

• PSG failed to win their two League Phase games last month
• The visitors fell to a 3-1 loss at Rennes on Friday, and they’ve already lost at Monaco in Ligue 1
• Monaco were unbeaten at home in the League Phase, beating Galatasaray and drawing with Man City, Spurs, and Juventus

PSG could fall short again

There’s a sense of history repeating itself for European champions PSG. They missed out on the top eight and landed a tie with a fellow Ligue 1 side in the first knockout round, just as they did last season.

However, PSG don’t seem as intimidating a prospect as they did at this point last year. A 3-1 loss at Rennes on Friday led to them surrendering top spot domestically, and that was their third away defeat of the campaign in France.

PSG have already suffered a 1-0 defeat at Monaco in Ligue 1, while the home side are aiming to protect an unbeaten home record in European competition.

Monaco drew three and won one of their four League Phase games. They’ve also rounded into form of late, putting together a four-game unbeaten run in Ligue 1.

PSG missed out on the top eight after losing at Sporting Lisbon and drawing at home to Newcastle last month. This visit to Monaco looks tricky, and the visitors should be avoided at odds against in this first-leg.
