Monaco vs PSG

PSG will be aiming to extend their lead at the top of the table when they travel to Monaco for a French Ligue 1 fixture.

The Parisians remain the team to beat in France and also boast a solid record in this clash. They should get the better of the hosts, who are out of sorts at the moment.

Monaco News

Monaco come into this clash with defeats in their last three Ligue 1 matches. Sebastian Pocognoli's team were beaten 4-1 at Rennes in their previous fixture and have now dropped to ninth in the table.

The hosts followed up that result with a 2-2 draw at Pafos in a midweek UEFA Champions League clash. Having been on the road in their last two matches, they are back at Stade Louis II on Saturday and will be keen to improve their form following defeats in their last two matches in front of their fans.

One positive for Monaco is their attacking quality, having scored in eight of their last nine home matches across all competitions. However, they often struggle to keep things tight at the back and are without a clean sheet in seven of those fixtures.

PSG News

PSG's title defence has been solid enough as they sit two points clear at the top of the table. They claimed a 3-0 home victory over Le Havre last time out in Ligue 1 and followed it up with a 5-3 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League.

The task for the Parisians will be to increase their lead at the top of the table, and the good news is that they have traveled well in recent weeks. They are unbeaten in their last six away matches and claimed a 3-2 victory at Lyon in their previous fixture on the road.

PSG boast one of the best attacks in the league and have scored first in their last five Ligue 1 matches. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions.

Head to Head

PSG have six wins while Monaco have been victorious four times, with two draws in the last 12 matches. The Parisians beat their rivals three times last season in the league and cup, claiming a 4-1 away victory in the clash at Stade Louis II.

Verdict

Monaco v PSG

Both teams are showing contrasting form at the moment, with PSG looking confident while Monaco are struggling. Given their fine record in this fixture, the Parisians are expected to claim the upper hand here.
