Monaco and PSG will face off on Friday in a Ligue 1 match that promises to be exciting.
Monaco’s goal is to qualify for the Champions League. They have won their last three league matches against PSG at home, scoring exactly three goals in each of those victories.
Monaco is the top-scoring team in Ligue 1 this season, with an average of 3.39 goals per game. They have also scored in their last seven league matches, although with mixed results (3 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses).
PSG are unbeaten in their last 19 matches in all competitions, and they will be looking to extend that streak to 20. However, they have a poor record against Monaco, having lost more Ligue 1 matches against them (45) than any other team.
Key Players to Watch:
Takumi Minamino scored a brace against Lens. His injury-time goal was the only one of his seven club goals this season to have been scored after half-time.
Gonçalo Ramos also scored in injury time last weekend. Four of his last five club goals have been scored after the 70th minute.
Hot Stat: PSG have conceded only one first-half goal away from home in Ligue 1 this season.
Prediction:
This match is likely to be a high-scoring affair, with both teams having strong attacking records. Monaco will be looking to take advantage of PSG’s poor record against them, while PSG will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak.
I predict a 2-2 draw.
