PSG are back in action with another important Ligue 1 fixture this weekend as they take on Monaco at the Parc des Princes on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.

Monaco are in seventh place in the Ligue 1 standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side eased past Monaco by a 4-0 margin last week and will want a similar result in this fixture.

PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The Parisians thrashed Club Brugge in the Champions League this week and will be confident ahead of this match.


PSG vs Monaco Head-to-Head

PSG have an impressive record against Monaco and have won 18 out of 37 matches played between the two teams. Monaco have managed seven victories against PSG and will need to improve their record in this fixture.

The previous meeting between the two teams took place in May this year and ended in a 2-0 victory for PSG. Monaco were outplayed on the day and have a point to prove this weekend.

PSG vs Monaco Prediction

PSG have blown hot and cold this season and are yet to click as a unit under Mauricio Pochettino. The Parisians do have a lead of 11 points at the top of the league and will want to put on a show this weekend.

Monaco have failed to hit their stride this season and will need to play out of their skins in this fixture. PSG are the better team on paper, however, and are the favourites to win this game.

Prediction: PSG 3-1 Monaco
