Paris SG vs Monaco Prediction & Betting tips
The Shenzhen Universiade Sports Center in the Chinese city of Shenzhen is hosting the match for the French Supercup on Saturday. Opposite are the French champions, Cup and League Cup winners PSG and runner-up and League Cup finalist AS Monaco. For the second time in a row, these two French flagship clubs are playing the game for the Supercup. PSG itself plays for the sixth time in a row for this trophy. The last five finals PSG could win all. With a recent success, PSG not only wants to fill half the dozen in a row, but to catch up with record holder Olympique Lyon, who has already won this cup eight times. In the match between PSG and Monaco, according to the betting odds, the team from the French capital is also a clear favorite.
PSG:
The win of the Supercup last year, the victory in the national cup competition, winning the League Cup and the sovereign championship with at the end of thirteen points ahead of runner-up Monaco were in the end for the responsible of PSG too little to continue to former coach Unai Emery to hold tight. Reason for the fact that the club parted at the end of last season of the Spaniard, was the repeated failure in the second round of the Champions League. After PSG failed in the 2016/2017 season in the last sixteen despite a 4-0 success in the first leg against Barcelona after the historic 1: 6 defeat in the second leg but was in the last season in the second round against the eventual winner Real Madrid final. PSG lost both matches against the Royal with 1: 3 away and 1: 2 at home. With Thomas Tuchel PSG committed an old friend from the Bundesliga, which should bring the star ensemble to Neymar and Edinson Cavani now the long-awaited Henkel pot. However, at the International Champions Cup PSG was not yet in its early stages, even though some stars were missing due to the World Cup. Nevertheless, the 1: 3 against Bayern and especially the 1: 5 against Arsenal Tuchel should not have liked.
Only at the end could PSG win in the last second against Atletico Madrid with 3: 2 and thus complete the mini-tournament with a success. Now comes the Supercup and who knows Thomas Tuchel, who knows that this success-hungry coach wants to win this not so important trophy. So far, PSG has remained calm in the transfer market. This is not surprising given the financial real play of Kylian Mbappe’s transfer of 135 million euros this season. But still some names such as Jerome Boateng, N’Golo Kante or Julian Weigl are buzzing over the Parc des Princes. Javier Pastore (AS Roma), Yuri Berchiche (Athletic Bilbao), Odsonne Edouard (Celtic Glasgow) and Grzegorz Krychowiak (Lokomotiv Moscow) have already left the club. Thiago Motta ended his career.
Monaco:
After winning the championship in the season 2016/2017 and the subsequent departures of many performers was the last season for the AS Monaco the expected heavy. By the last match day, the Monegasque teamed up with Olympique Lyon and Olympique Marseille for the two places behind champion PSG for the Champions League. Monaco kept his nerve at the end, finishing second to Lyon and Marseille and finishing second behind PSG. In the Coupe de France Monaco had already failed in the semifinals at home to Lyon. Monaco reached the final for the Coupe de la Ligue, but had no chance against PSG 3-0. In the Champions League Monaco was in a feasible group with Besiktas Istanbul, FC Porto and RB Leipzig sang- and soundless last with only two points and 6:16 goals.
Also this summer Monaco lost some of its top stars to the competition. With Thomas Lemar (Atletico Madrid), Fabinho (Liverpool), Terence Kongolo and Adama Diakhaby (both Huddersfield), Soualiho Meïté (Torino) and João Moutinho (Wolverhampton) left a few regular players from last season the principality. With the transfer of Mbappe Monaco took this summer so far almost 300 million euros. “Just” 100 million euros were reinvested, mainly in the transfers of Aleksandr Golovin (CSKA Moscow), Willem Geubbels (Lyon), Jean-Eudes Aholou (Racing Strasbourg), Antonio Barreca (Torino) and Pelé (Rio Ave) , The preparation of the AS Monaco for the new season was modest. There were victories against the Polish representatives Ruch Chorzow and Cercle Bruges. From VfL Bochum from the 2nd Bundesliga, the Monegassen separated with a draw. The game against Wisla Krakow was lost on penalties and also in the two tests against the German second division club Paderborn and HSV Monaco had the disadvantage.
