Paris Saint-Germain vs AS Monaco Competition – France Ligue 1 Stadium – Parc des Princes Date: 24th November 2023 Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT
Ligue 1 returns this weekend with Paris Saint-Germain facing Monaco at the Parc des Princes on Friday. The hosts went into the international break in good spirits after finally retaking the top spot for the first time in three months courtesy of a 3-0 win over Reims just before the international break. That win extended their impressive winning streak to five straight league wins, all of which saw them score exactly three goals. Their upcoming game against Monaco is an excellent opportunity to strengthen their position at the top, as victory would extend their lead to six points over Monaco who sit third ahead of the round. With their attack in excellent form, the Parisians will fancy their chances of outscoring their visitors. Meanwhile, their defence has been nearly impregnable, especially at the Parc des Princes where they haven’t conceded a single goal across their last five competitive outings (W5). However, history suggests that continuing this streak will be a challenge, as Luis Enrique’s side have managed only one clean sheet in the last 12 home H2Hs in Ligue 1, with the record across those meetings split perfectly (W3, D6, L3). Therefore, Monaco will travel to Paris unafraid of Kylian Mbappe and co despite coming into this game on the back of a goalless draw against newly promoted Le Havre in their last outing. Although coach Adi Hütter described the result as a “good point earned” after the game, recording only one win in three top-flight matches (D1, L1) should worry him. The Monégasques are fighting to keep fourth-placed Lille at bay, and they need improvement on the road if they are to improve on last season’s run to sixth spot. The visitors have emerged victorious only once across their previous five away games in the top flight (D3, L1) while failing to score in the last two. These recent goalscoring struggles on their travels are particularly concerning given that they have only recorded one clean sheet in eleven away matches in Ligue 1.
