Paris SG vs Monaco Prediction & Betting tips
It was not that long ago that AS Monaco tried with great financial effort to prevent Paris Saint-Germain from going it alone after returning to Ligue 1 and was sometimes at eye level with the capitals and even managed PSG in 2017 Snatch title. There is hardly anything left of this team.
For example, Kylian Mbappe plays for PSG today, Bernado Silva is with Manchester City and Fabinho has become one of the best sixes in the world in Liverpool. The principality club can therefore no longer keep up with the Parisians. The differences could become clear in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
Paris has never had an outstanding season for its own circumstances. With 45 points, Thomas Tuchel’s team is still at the top of the classification. The advantage over the first chaser from Marseille is seven points and a catch-up game that the Parisians still have to play.
Monaco is currently in a large group that ranges from third to 14th place. Position seven is currently on the books. Overall, the distances are extremely narrow, so that a win can wash the Monegasque forward. However, a defeat can cost many places. Before the kick-off between PSG and Monaco, the forecast tends to slide.
Paris has got into a frenzy in recent weeks and has developed an almost insatiable hunger for goals. Thomas Tuchel’s team hurries from canter victory to canter victory. Therefore, it should be a good choice to place a tip on over goals in the duel between PSG and Monaco.
The game plan designers in Ligue 1 came up with something really exciting. On Sunday this match is the last match in the first half of the season. The second half of the season starts on Wednesday and Monaco expects the frontrunner in the Principality. The kick-off for the first game in a double pack between PSG and Monaco in the Prinzenpark will take place on January 12, 2020 at 20:00 p.m.
PSG:
The biggest issue that Paris Saint-Germain is currently dealing with is a possible move from Kylian Mbappe, probably to Real Madrid. The attacker is currently leaving his future open and avoiding a commitment to his current club. At the moment, a transfer fee of 250 million euros is rumored if the world champion is looking for a new employer.
It is doing really well in sport. Paris still dances at all weddings. PSG is still represented in both national cup competitions and has every opportunity in the Champions League. Ligue 1 also looks like the next title. It could be a big and very successful season for Paris Saint-Germain.
At the moment, Thomas Tuchel’s team is also on the go. Paris has been unbeaten for twelve games, scoring eleven wins. In the last six games, Paris Saint-Germain has scored a total of 29 goals, an average of almost five goals per game. Therefore, it makes sense to check the odds for many goals of the home side in the duel between PSG and Monaco.
During the week, PSG had to compete against league rivals AS Saint-Etienne at home in the Coupe de la Ligue. The opponent was shot from the Prinzenpark with 6: 1. However, the high victory was favored by the guests being dismissed after half an hour. At break Paris was ahead with goals from Mauro Icardi, Neymar and an own goal with 3: 0.
Thomas Tuchel was satisfied and now sees two key games for his team. He expects two tough games against Monaco against a strong opponent.
Despite the first English week of the year, no major rotations are expected at PSG. This means that Thomas Tuchel may trust the formation from the cup game against Saint-Etienne. The Parisians definitely have to do without Presnel Kimpembe, who is still unavailable due to a thigh injury.
Monaco:
Spaniard Roberto Moreno makes his debut as coach of AS Monaco in Ligue 1. After Luis Enrique’s time-out, Moreno was responsible for buying the ticket for the EURO 2020 with the Spanish national team. Now he is head coach of a large international club for the first time and must now earn his spurs.
So far this season Monaco has lagged behind the possibilities. That is why Leonardo Jardim was again exempted from the princely ranks. The Portuguese, who led the team to the championship in 2017, will hardly be joining AS Monaco for a third time. Roberto Moreno still has a difficult legacy.
It is also difficult to assess the current state of this team. Roberto Moreno has only been in office since the end of December and he was unable to change much during this time. The handwriting of the new coach should definitely not be recognizable. For the first time, the new coach was responsible for the week in the Coupe de France.
At home it went against the league rival Stade Reims. It was the expected difficult match in which Keita Balde scored the opening goal after an hour. Reims equalized ten minutes later, but again Keita Balde was the match winner in the fourth minute of added time. It was close, but in the end it was a well deserved victory.
The debut for Roberto Moreno could have been worse. However, the first real test will only follow against PSG.
The new job as head coach apparently does not give the Spanish trainer sleepless nights, because in his view his job profile has not changed much from his previous jobs.
But now he is responsible and the bookmakers make a prediction before the match between PSG and Monaco that Roberto Moreno will lose his first league game. Apart from the two youngsters Willem Geubbels and Pietro Pellegri, Monaco has almost all players on board. Only substitute goalkeeper Danijel Subasic must continue to serve a red card after being sent off as a banker for complaining.
