THE LOWDOWN
PSG
Luis Enrique was appointed Paris Saint-Germain manager in the summer and after a slow start to the campaign, following a major turnover in personnel during the transfer window, the French champions went into the November international break on the back of some performances that suggested they were just about clicking into gear.
The Parisians come into this on the back of a comfortable and impressive 3-0 defeat of Will Still’s Stade de Reims a couple of weeks ago, lifting them to the top-of-the-table. Their 2-1 defeat to AC Milan at San Siro in the UEFA Champions League is their only defeat in their last seven matches across all competitions, winning the other six games with 18 goals scored.
MONACO
Coached by former Borussia Monchengladbach boss Adi Hutter, Monaco have had an impressive and entertaining start to the 2023/24 Ligue 1 campaign. The principality club begin the weekend sitting in the top three and the UEFA Champions League places as they try and sustain a challenge to PSG at the top-of-the-table.
The Monagasque come into this one on the back of a goalless draw with newly-promoted Le Havre in their most recent outing, a couple of weeks ago. They have been a lot more attacking than that result would suggest so far this season with 25 goals sored in their 12 matches – only PSG have scored more than them.

THE PREDICTION
There aren’t many competitive matches in Ligue 1 for Paris Saint-Germain but this season’s early teething issues have provoked some frustrating games for the defending champions. This one is not necessarily a game where they become frustrated going forward, though, as Adi Hutter will send his Monaco side to the capital with an intent to attack the potential space in the defensive areas for PSG. The hosts are favourites but it could well end up being a very entertaining game on Friday night.
BETTING TIP: PSG TO WIN & OVER 2.5 GOALS
