Having been knocked out of the Coupe de France in midweek, Paris Saint-Germain will be looking to bounce back when they visit Monaco in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
Despite Wednesday’s slip-up, PSG remain on course to clinch the Ligue 1 title, as they lead second-placed Marseille by eight points after 22 games.
As for Monaco, they find themselves fourth in the table – 10 points behind PSG – thanks to an impressive unbeaten run.
Indeed, Monaco have avoided defeat in each of their last seven league outings – picking up five wins and two draws along the way.
After thrashing Ajaccio 7-1 last month, the Monegasques drew with Marseille before securing back-to-back victories over Auxerre and Clermont Foot.
When you look at the bigger picture, Monaco have only lost four of their previous 32 Ligue 1 matches – highlighting their strong form in recent times.
Having avoided defeat at half time in each of their last 17 league games, Monaco look destined to make a strong start against Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG, meanwhile, head into Saturday’s clash on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Marseille in the last 16 of the Coupe de France.
Still, they have lost just two of their 22 Ligue 1 matches this season – securing 17 wins and three draws to set the foundations for another title charge.
Not only are the Parisians the top scorers in the division with 54 goals (2.45 goals per game), but they also boast the best defensive record with 17 goals against (0.77 goals against per game).
With just two defeats coming in their previous 31 league matches, it would not be surprising if PSG left Monaco with all three points on Saturday.
Head-to-head: Over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of the last seven meetings between Monaco and PSG at the Stade Louis II.
Monaco have managed to win just three of their last 12 league games against the Parisians, suffering six high-scoring defeats in the process.
Team news: Monaco will be without the injured trio of Eliesse Ben Seghir (foot), Vanderson (knee) and Malang Sarr (hip) this weekend.
On the flip side, Kylian Mbappe (thigh) is remains sidelined for PSG, while Renato Sanches (muscle), Nordi Mukiele (hamstring) and Presnel Kimpembe (Achille) are also absent.
Given the high-scoring nature of this fixture in recent years, we are destined to see plenty of goals at the Stade Louis II this time around.
Forebet predicts that Monaco and PSG will combine for over 4.5 goals on Saturday, with the visitors coming out on top.
