Betting on AS Monaco
Monaco is currently sitting at a strong fourth place in Ligue 1 with 44 points from 22 matches played. In their last five games, they’ve tied twice and come out on top in three victories, including a recent 2-0 triumph against Clermont. While they may be high in the rankings, they still have a ways to go to catch league leaders PSG, who sit 10 points ahead. However, they’re hot on the heels of second-placed Marseille, who have 46 points.
Leading the charge for Monaco is their star striker Breel Embolo, who has scored an impressive 12 goals and is among the top scorers in the league. Meanwhile, providing expert assists is left winger Caio Henrique, with a solid seven to his name.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Alexander Nübel; Ruben Aguilar, Axel Disasi, Guillermo Maripán and Caio Henrique; Youssouf Fofana, Mohamed Camara; Krépin Diatta, Takumi Minamino and Aleksandr Golovín; and Breel Embolo.
PSG Preview
The number one team has a mixed record in their recent five matches, with one draw, one loss, and three wins. The most recent encounter was a 2-1 home victory over Toulouse, which saw a mixture of starters and substitutes take the field.
This was due to their participation in the Coupe de France match against Olympique de Marseille, which ended in a 2-1 victory for the Côte d’Azur team. The match was a stark contrast, with Marseille showing their strength and dominance both in attitude and play, and triggering a new crisis for the struggling capital club.
Making matters worse, Lionel Messi was added to PSG’s injury list, joining star player Kylian Mbappé who is already on the sidelines. Messi has been ruled out for the weekend, and there are concerns he may not be able to participate in the first leg of the Champions League match against Bayern Munich.
PSG will face Monaco, but they must stay focused on their strengths. Despite some setbacks, their Ligue 1 campaign has been impressive, and they can count on the strong form of Hakimi and the talent of Neymar Jr. to carry the team forward.
Probable lineup (4-3-1-2): Gianluigi Donnarumma; Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Sergio Ramos and Nuno Mendes; Vitinha, Danilo Pereira and Marco Verratti; Carlos Soler and Neymar; and Hugo Ekitiké.
JefeBet Prediction
Logic suggests that PSG should have no major problems in beating Monaco, but the blow at Le Classique was harsh, and its repercussions are still an unknown quantity.
Monaco will attack them, no doubt, but in any case at JefeBet we believe that PSG will win, even if it is a close one.
Prediction: PSG wins 1-0.
