Monaco vs PSG Prediction

Les Monegasques were held to a goalless draw with Reims in their last game and also have a terrible record against the visitors in their last 10 games. In their last 10 games across all competitions, Monaco have secured five wins and five losses and are sitting third in the Ligue 1 table after 15 games.

As for PSG, they still remain unbeaten in the domestic league and are coming off a 3-1 win over Lyon in their latest game. Luis Enrique’s side have been dominating the Ligue 1 but they lacked inconsistency on the continental stage.

Predicted Score: Monaco 1-3 PSG
