PSG vs Monaco prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-02-06 20:05.
[p]At the moment, it’s fair to say that no side in French football can touch PSG as a stunning 5-2 victory away to Brest last round preserved their unbeaten league record this season (W15, D5). Not only does that return leave them ten points clear at the top of Ligue 1, but their prior match – a 4-1 win over Stuttgart – saw them progress from the UEFA Champions League (UCL) league phase.[/p]
[p]During their phenomenal recent competitive run, the Parisians got the better of opponents here Monaco in the Trophée des Champions finale (1-0), a result which made it four-straight unbeaten H2Hs for the hosts (W3, D1). That will put them at ease ahead of this latest showdown with their rivals, especially as they’ve sealed a positive result in eight of their last nine home outings against them (W5, D3). [/p]
[p]That nine-match run witnessed visiting Monaco concede a total of 27 goals, which won’t come as music to the ears of the travelling fans who arrive here after watching their side lose last time out on the road. That came in the form of a 3-0 defeat to Inter Milan in European competition, a result which saw them drop out of the top eight spots in the UCL league phase, though they did respond emphatically with a 4-2 win over Auxerre at the weekend.[/p]
[p]Despite being 2-1 down at the break in that match, Monaco responded well to claim all three points on offer as they continue to battle away with Marseille for the title of ‘the best of the rest’ in Ligue 1. In order to seal that by the end of the campaign, the Monégasques will have to end their current four-match away league winless run (D2, L2) quickly, with Monaco last enduring a longer such streak back in October 2019.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: PSG’s Bradley Barcola has recorded nine goal contributions (G4, A5) across his last six games, whilst Mika Biereth netted a hat-trick for Monaco last time out meaning that each of his four strikes for his new club have come between or on the 50th and 65th minutes. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Monaco have failed to score in just one of their last 13 away Ligue 1 H2Hs. [/p]
