PSG vs Monaco verdict
League leaders PSG and third-place Monaco will face off in a Ligue 1 derby on Friday night at the Parc des Princes.
PSG has returned to winning ways in Ligue 1 after a slow start, but they have struggled in the Champions League where they’ve lost against Milan and Newcastle (4-1).
Having missed out on European football last season, the team led by Adi Hutter is now aiming for a return to the Champions League.
They started the season strongly, but have slowed down in recent weeks.
Both teams found the net in each of last season’s meetings and there’s a high probability we’ll be treated to goals in Paris.
Kylian Mbappe has been involved in 1.16 goals per game this campaign, scoring 13 and laying on one assist. Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembele have been a threat with four assists apiece.
Monaco's most productive attackers, Alexandr Golovin and Wissam Ben Yedder, both have five goals while the Russian has chipped in with two assists.
There have been over 3.5 goals in six of PSG’s league fixtures this season, while there have been over 3.5 goals in five of Monaco’s.
Despite winning four of five, Monaco have won just one of four on their travels and have recently failed to breach Lillie (0-2) and Le Harve (0-0).
You can expect Kylian Mbappe to lead the scoring for the hosts but the visitors won’t go down without a fight and have their part to play in a high-scoring affair.
