Monaco vs PSG Free Betting Tips – Ligue 1
Absent from debates for European places in the last two seasons, AS Monaco clearly hopes to reverse the trend this year. For the moment, the Principality club has made a fairly decent start and is in 6th position in the standings with only 2 points behind 2nd place. However, Niko Kovac’s players experienced a small air gap in October by chaining 3 against performances against Brest (1-0), Montpellier yet reduced to 10 (1-1) and especially Lyon (4- 1). But probably awakened by this last slap, the Rocher players rebounded very well and they largely beat Bordeaux (4-0) then they went to win in the derby against Nice (1-2) in the last match.
For its part, PSG saw a fairly mixed start to the season. Defeated in the first two matches of the season in Ligue 1, the Champions of France have since chained the victories in the league and they remain on 8 consecutive victories which allowed them to take a good lead at the top of Ligue 1. Indeed, the Thomas Tuchel’s men are already 5 points ahead of their Lille runner-up after their last victories against Dijon (4-0), Nantes (0-3) and Rennes (3-0). On the other hand, it is much more delicate for the players of the capital in the Champions League. Beaten by Manchester United at the start (1-2), they were able to make the difference against Istanbul BB (0-2) before missing again against Leipzig on the last day of C1. Weakened by these two setbacks, Parisian hopes, which are mainly based on this competition, have been showered. There is no doubt that PSG should prioritize this C1 in the coming weeks.
The workforce for Monaco vs PSG
Absent for almost 2 months now, Russian playmaker Golovin could be ready enough to play this meeting. This will not be the case with goalkeeper Lecomte who is still recovering after having had an operation on his right hand. Finally, the French international neo-Aguilar is suspended for this meeting. Otherwise, the entire Monegasque team should be operational, starting with striker Ben-Yedder who has already found the net 6 times this season.
For its part, PSG will travel to the Rock without the titular left side Bernat, the right defender Kherer and without the midfielder Gueye. Otherwise, the important Paredes, Verratti, Sarabia and Icardi and the less used Draxler are expected for this meeting as are the two offensive stars Neymar and Mbappé, all absent against Rennes. Against the Bretons, the Italian striker Kean proved that he was a very suitable alternative to the tip of the attack by scoring a new goal, his 3rd in 4 days.
