Paris Saint-Germain vs Monaco prediction
Paris Saint-Germain come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat of Le Havre at Stade Oceane the other day, courtesy of a Bradley Barcola strike. They have been unconvincing across all competitions of late, as was the case against Monaco.
In their UEFA Champions League knockout playoff round tie against the Monegasque, PSG had to come from behind against ten-men opposition in both legs to eventually squeeze themselves through.
Monaco have been improving for a while now under Sebastian Pocognoli, with 13 points collected from their last five Ligue 1 matches after a 2-0 defeat of Angers last week.
Monaco are in excellent form at the moment and will pose real danger to PSG at the Parc des Princes and it should be a very entertaining watch for the neutral.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Monaco tip: Over 2.5 goals
