Monaco vs Paris SG Match Preview

Monaco welcomes Paris Saint-Germain in the twenty-third matchday of the French Ligue 1.

The home side is coming off a 2-0 away win over Clermont, being in fourth place in the table having a pretty safe margin from third-placed Lens. Monaco did not have a midweek match for the cup tournament so had enough time to prepare for hosting the Parisians in this one.

In 2023, the Monegasques have managed four wins and two draws in six league matches and are looking to beat Paris SG at home again like they have done in recent seasons.

The visitors, on the other hand, without Mbappe for one more game, had difficulties and were eliminated from the cup competition after being defeated by Marseille 2-1. With the upcoming big UEFA Champions League game against Bayern in mind they may hold some strength so they will possibly struggle in Monaco considering they lost away to Rennes and Lens recently and also that Messi will miss this match. Their margin from second-placed Marseille is eight points, so I suppose that they will give priority to the European game that follows.

In conclusion, these two teams could offer an interesting match since they are overflowing in terms of quality, but I think the home side will fight more for the victory. I will stake 3 units on Monaco to win draw no bet at 1.96 odds.
