AS Monaco vs PSG

On Sunday afternoon, Monaco hosts PSG at the Stade Louis ll, with the visitors attempting to move a step closer to reclaiming the Ligue One crown.

A recent poor run of league form has seen Monaco fall eight points adrift of the European spots in the French top-flight. In fact, a 1-0 defeat at Strasbourg in their last Ligue One outing means that Philippe Clement’s team has won just one of their last five league matches. The Strasbourg game was another low-scoring clash for Monaco, as five of their last six matches in Ligue One have now produced under 2.5 goals.

The team from the principality have been difficult to beat in Ligue One at the Stade Louis ll though, losing just one of their previous 11 home matches in the French top-flight.

PSG

Mauricio Pochettino’s team bounced back from their last-16 exit in the Champions League to Real Madrid by recording a 3-0 win over Bordeaux. The victory means that the Parisians have now recorded victories in 32 of their last 35 matches in the French top-flight.

However, their recent form has been slightly more inconsistent, as they have won two and lost two of their last four league matches. In fact, those two defeats have been in their last two away games in the French top-flight. Their recent away form in Ligue One has been anything but convincing of late, as they have won just one of their previous six matches on their travels in the league.

Incredibly, PSG have won just seven times at Monaco in 40 visits in Ligue One, suffering 21 defeats in the process.
