Monaco vs Paris Saint Germain Preview

AS Monaco host PSG in this game hoping to avoid falling 9 points behind the Ligue 1 leaders.

The defending champions look desperately out of depth and their 4-1 home loss to RB Leipzig in midweek will have seen their morale drop down further.

That loss was their 4^th in their last ten games and they have won only three of those matches.

Their defence seem very leaky as they have conceded a large number of goals recently and should be a cause of worry for Leornado Jardim.

PSG will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the League when they visit the Stade Louis II in this game and Neymar and Co. look likely to secure the win here on their current form.

They come into this game off the back of a 5 match winning streak, the last of which was a 7-1 drubbing of Celtic in midweek.

They have had to work harder on their travels as they have dropped points twice in their last five away matches in the league.

PSG won the last head to head meeting between these two sides 2-1 in the French Super Cup.
