AS Monaco vs Paris Saint Germain Prediction: PSG are not Trustworthy

Getting knocked out of the cup was more than a shock for French Giants and now they have to face one of the in-form teams in the Ligue 1, as they travel to Stade Louis II to face AS Monaco. PSG might sit on top the Ligue 1 but they are far from the team they used to be, after incurring losses at several stages of the season. It's almost like we are witnessing a change in era in Ligue 1. Will Monaco be able to add more misery to the French Giants?

AS Monaco

AS Monaco are one of the in-form teams at the moment and they would be advancing to a better position in the table if they keep up this form. AS Monaco have not tasted defeat in their last 5 matches in all competition and in the French Ligue 1, they are unbeaten in 7 matches. 

In their last 5 Ligue 1 games, they have 3 wins and 2 draws. 

Currently they are in 4th spot on the table, with 44 points from 22 matches and a chance to go up to 2nd if they win against PSG here. They have 14 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses so far, with a goal ratio of 48:29. 

At home, AS Monaco have 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses and are ranked 6th. 

By stats, Monaco have no losses in 5 matches and have seen both teams score in ⅚ matches. They are first to score in 7/7 matches and first half winners in ⅚ matches. AS Monaco have also seen less than 4.5 cards in 6/6 matches and less than 10.5 corners in 5/5 matches.

Paris Saint Germain

The Parisians have been disappointing to say the least. Although they seat comfortably on top, there are growing fears that they might lose their place really soon. And their quest for the UEFA Champions League looks almost impossible with the unstable form of the team. They were knocked out of the cup by Marseille a few days ago and now they have to fight for the Ligue 1 and the UCL. In all competitions, PSG have 1 loss, 1 draw and 3 wins in 5 matches. In the Ligue 1, they have 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. They are also without a clean sheet in 4 matches and have seen more than 2.5 goals in ⅚ matches. Both teams have also scored in ⅚ of their matches and in 9/9 matches, less than 4.5 cards have been shown and less than 10.5 corners have been played in 8/8 matches.

PSG are currently topping the league with 54 points from 22 matches. They have 17 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses.

Head to Head

In their 20 meetings against each other PSG have 12 wins, while Monaco have 5 wins and 3 matches ended in a draw. 

Head to Head stats shows in ⅘ matches less than 2.5 goals have been played  and in ⅚ matches, more than 4.5 cards have been shown.  In 6/7 matches, less than 10.5 corners have been played.

Expert Betting Tips

PSG are currently playing below par and everyone doubts the influence of Christophe Galtier on the star studded team. Kylian Mbappe picked up an injury a few weeks ago and is still out of this clash, which leaves Messi and Neymar to carry the team for now. Lionel Messi has been in fine form for the team providing assists and scoring and I believe he will do either of them in this match. It is just too risky to pick PSG as an outright winner and I believe the Monaco team might just give them a run for their money.
