PSG is leading by two goals so far, all of which were scored in the first half of the game, they have received strong resistance from Monaco and it seems the attacking force from Monaco is strong as they already have one of their goals cancelled by VAR in the first half.

PSG managed to get some little of the domination in the first half as they had a higher ball possession than Monaco did , but then they are performing well so far but I expect more fr them because they have the home advantage and I expected it will be utilized well enough since they are in a good form currently and have none of their key players injured, let's hope that they will get one more goal by the end of the second half and be able to get all complete three points.

Yeah in the first half both teams played aggressively and has scored 3 goals but of course it's not over yet in the second half the situation may become more aggressive because Monaco certainly doesn't want to lose and give up, overall Paris Saint-Germain managed to control all lines 68% ball possessions 10 shoots and 7 on target I can see PSG like playing in the Champions League final.

To my surprise, Monaco is seriously resisting and the score after the first half is quite slippery 2-1. But bookmakers currently estimate the probability of PSG winning as 1.2 and it seems to me that in the second half we will really see that PSG is stronger again and the result will be close to my forecast “3-0 or 3-1”. But if Monaco can take points from PSG, I won’t be upset either (I very rarely place bets in Ligue 1 and missed this game).

Both teams are not taking each other lightly, and if there is any assumption about that then I think it is just nonsense. PSG knows very well Monaco's strength this season, as well as Monaco knows exactly PSG's strength. Both teams will both field their best squad to get positive results, but I admit that PSG is superior at home.

This season PSG has had 1 defeat and 1 draw in 6 home matches in Ligue 1, Monaco has 3 draws and 1 loss in 6 matches. Last season Monaco managed to win 4 points against PSG, but I think this season will be reversed where PSG has a good chance to win more points from Monaco. This is an important match for both of them, but if PSG win then they will be in better form for the match against Newcastle in the next few days.
both PSG and Monaco are aware of each other's strengths. but I think PSG is not perfect shape because many of their players had international duty before this game. PSG need to take advantage as they play at home which have a strong record. However, Monaco is still a dangerous opponent as them trying to back to their best form after some unsatisfied results in last few games.

This match is likely to be a close one, and it could go either way. Both teams have the potential to win, and it will be interesting to see which team comes out on top. they will be looking to cause an upset.

Today in Ligue 1, PSG welcomes Monaco to their home ground. In the last match, they beat Stade de Reims 3-0, topping the points table and completing Mbappe's eighth hat-trick in Ligue 1. PSG have won five games in a row in Ligue 1. Meanwhile Monaco shared the points with le havre in their last match and they currently sit third in the points table. Kylian Mbappe has been in excellent form with a Ligue 1-high 13 goals, although PSG suffered a shock last outing against Monaco. I think PSG will continue with a 2-1 win at home to Monaco today and cement their top spot.
Luis Enrique have few minutes to ginger his players, they have good stats against Monaco and winning should not be a problem for Les Parisiens, I have no doubts about that. Paris Saint-Germain vs Monaco, the match is scheduled to kickoff at 21:00pm. I'm getting warm up to stream the game live on my phone, that's a game we shouldn't afford to miss. One of the major reasons I'm watching the game is because of Kylian Mbappe, he's an outstanding player and he has everything completely suited to become threat to his opponents.

I would say this match for PSG is more about reputation than earning point to keep them at the top of the table. If you check the statistics you observe that PSG haven't done pretty well against Monaco for some time so I think they would love to utilize this opportunity to gain back the trust of their fans once by beating Monaco and also extend their lead at top of the table.

Well, i like your opinion and simply want to correct some notions; hopefully we all continue to learn.

1. Monaco vs PSG has big rivalry yes
2. The tie this weekend is not about bragging rights; (there's league at stake that both teams are chasing); it is about 3 massive points. Because the league are won in December; a victory for either side this weekend and the title race is blown open once again in the French league]
3. The h2h ratio is bad, i think it will change with Luis Enrique, who has imbibed skills, young age and tactics with experience in the Young psg side.

A Monaco win is what i believe will make the league more interesting.

But I hope PSG can win with a better score than 2-1, for example like 3-1 or maybe win with clean sheets too. Indeed, Monaco is not a weak team and it seems like a difficult for PSG to win with clean sheets because yes, at least PSG's defense is also not entirely good. Because so far, the fact is that PSG has conceded 9 goals and at the same time, the fact is that Monaco is the second team after PSG that has a high goal productivity so far this season in Ligue 1. Therefore, although Monaco still has a chance to score, but I expect PSG to score a better number of goals in this match to beat Monaco at the Parc des Princes.

That's right, if PSG underestimate Monaco it is very likely that they will stumble and Nice will take advantage of that scenario. The top of the standings will be at stake this week, but I am quite confident that PSG can make the most of their home opportunity. Luis Enrique will field his best squad in this match, because he really understands the risks his opponent could create this time, namely losing first place. Apart from that, this match should be a good start after the international break, and at the same time be an asset when competing in the UCL.

For the time being, Bbappe leads the list of top scorers in Ligue 1 with 13 goals, this figure could increase if Mbappe is able to break through his former club tomorrow. On the other hand, I am quite impressed with Nice, they are unbeaten in 12 matches, their performance is very different from last season when they were only able to finish in 9th place.

Trying to understand the clubs in Ligue 1 is difficult for me, I mean why do they falter so easily or in other words their consistency is so quickly lost when entering a new season. I think it's normal for players to come and go, but in reality it's not normal for that to happen at a Ligue 1 club. It's different when looking at La Liga and the Premier League for example, their consistency can still be said to be balanced when the season changes, yes although there are some clubs that also experience a significant decline.
What do you think caused that to happen in Ligue 1?
I'm glad someone else has also confirmed this about French Ligue 1, very difficult to predict. Just when you think a team like PSG has all the advantages to win a match, they will even lose at home to a smaller team. On the contrary, when you will not expect, you will see them delivering beyond imagination.
Nevertheless PSG have shown impressive record of recently as they have won five out of their last six matches drawing one against a smaller side Clermont Foot. So I will not be surprised if they humble Monaco who have not also been doing badly just that they have lost their glory.

I can agree with that totally. It is really difficult to predict even PSG's matches as you have mentioned. Because they have got more inconsistent this season as they are in a transition period. I mean they have brought so many new players to replace the players left. There are many young ones among them at the same time especially in the attacking line.

Luis Enrique has a big responsibility to make this team play in coherence. Until he performs this task successfully it is quite difficult to trust even PSG. I know they are better in the league recently with a win streak but still they are open for surprise.  Smiley

Just when you think a team like PSG has all the advantages to win a match, they will even lose at home to a smaller team. On the contrary, when you will not expect, you will see them delivering beyond imagination.
To be honest, when PSG bought Messi and their attacking trio become Neymar, Mbappe and Messi, I thought that it would be the best unstoppable trio. Even Suarez, Messi and Neymar were doing wonders and when you have Mbappe, who us far superior than Suarez of old Barca seasons, you really expect that such a team will win every trophy but they failed to win Champions League and that was a very sad moment.

It will be very difficult for PSG to release Mbappe next season. He is in top form and a key player that score at any given opportunity. Age is on his side and I feel a sense of nationalism might compel him to remain in France. 

Unless perhaps he feels his career will not grow well at PSG base on the fact that they hardly perform well Internationally.  He might decide to leave and pursue his career even though it will be difficult to reject the tempting offer PSG will offer should they get to that point.
I also think that Mbappe may reject any transfer because he grew up near Paris, speaks French, born in France, lives in a wonderful city called Paris that is a dream destination for many (but so beautiful is Barcelona). He has salary, great life and everything he wishes, he lives in his hometown. But on another hand, he acknowledges that if he want to succeed and win trophies, he has to move somewhere else and Real Madrid is really the best option for him to win trophies. If PSG becomes stronger, he may stay in the club, otherwise, there is really no reason for such a big talent to be wasted.

Today, psg is facing Monaco in a highly anticipated match. psg hasn't been doing great, losing 4 out of their last 6 games against Monaco in League 1. Monaco seems to have the upper hand because of psg's not-so-good performance recently. However, PSG is playing at home, which gives them a bit of an advantage. While Monaco hasn't had much success in their last 5 away matches, winning only one. But if Monaco wins today, they can close the three-point gap between them and the current champions who have gathered 27 points in 12 games so far. I think both teams will score in today's match.

So far, I don't see many changes regarding predictions on the line-up of these two teams. However, from the Asian Handicap Betting betting option, the odds have changed and PSG is far superior to the bookies. and if I refer to 1×2, the odds have not changed as I checked yesterday. Well, referring to what you said, I think this time PSG will win the match by overthrowing Monaco in this match. The chance that both teams will score looks like it will happen, unfortunately the odds available are not ideal based on my option with @1.48. for PSG, @1.50 and Monaco with odds @5.60.

What is certain is that I am quite sure that PSG will overthrow Manaco, if we refer to the results of my analysis. despite the fact, we will know the final result after this match is held and ends. it's just that, none of the options are ideal for me to bet on. I quite doubt that there will be many goals scored by both teams.My assumption is that the match will end with a score of 2-1, or 2-0. but to be honest, I hesitate to bet Under 3.5 goals at odds @1.91. So, I will not bet and just wait for the final result of the match between these two teams.

In French Soccer League, PSG vs Monaco team match will start tomorrow. In this match, PSG team has more chances to win. Because PSG team is now in 1st position in the points table. On the other hand, Monaco team is in 3rd position. If Monaco team can perform well in this match, maybe two  I can enjoy the tough fight between the teams. But the PSG team has done very well in the previous matches. I hope that the PSG team will do much better in this match. The PSG team is much stronger than the Monaco team.
This is quite a difficult match for PSG because Monaco's quality is also very good this season and PSG are slightly favored because this match will be played at their home ground.
Personally, I wouldn't dare bet on PSG winning in this match with Odds @ 1.47 for PSG winning. I don't think it's worth the big risk.
This is a match between two teams who are in good form at the moment so it is possible for a lot of goals to occur, I think betting on ver goals in this match is a good option.

This match was really interesting to watch. Monaco cannot be underestimated by PSG because Monaco could provide more resistance to make it difficult for PSG to break into Monaco's goal. PSG really wants to stay in first place, but if PSG doesn't succeed in winning the match, it's possible that the match will end. With a draw, PSG will return to second place if Nice is able to win the match against Touluse in the next match and return to first place.

Of course, many will make PSG the favorite because PSG is in good form and has won in a row in the last 5 matches, but Monaco is also no less good than PSG, but in terms of squad, PSG's squad is much stronger compared Monaco.

Nice vs Touluse is also no less interesting to watch because I see Nice are in good condition and have not received defeat so far. I think Nice will win this match because Touluse is not in good condition and tends to be unstable. I want to see Nice occupy first place again currently occupied by PSG.
PSG will be coming into this match better than Monacco who are just coming to keep PSG under watch and get a point, I think that fighting spirit to win is what PSG needs for a match as this so as to be able to sit comfortably at top position no matter the outcome at Nice, Monacco are also in good form but PSG are better when it comes to this fixture, for safety of punters I think PSG having the upper hand in double chance is a pretty safe bet

 Nice who also are aspiring to sit top on the table having hopes Monaco causes an upset to PSG, will comfortably defeat Toulouse who have had poor run of form of recent, Nice are more better than them when it comes to form and would really want to do their best to get back to the top of the league.

This match will be a bit tough because non of them will like to live a chance, Nice that is second in the table are playing against Toulouse which are at number 14 currently, which I do not have any doubt Nice will defeat Toulouse, this is also known to both PSG and Monaco that's why the two teams have to be serious and unfortunately only one will take the 3 points or they divide it, PSG really need to win because is only a point in between them and the Nice and is very dangerous to them, which they know that Nice can win Toulouse while Monaco will like the position of Nice if they can secure win against PSG.

It's not going to be an easy match for either club, Paris Saint Germain or Monaco. Yes, both have the potential to play well and have the opportunity to win this match. Paris Saint Germain must really be wary of the movements of Monaco, otherwise they will be humiliated by their guests.
Conversely for Monaco, I hope they can take advantage of the smallest possible opportunities and not choose to play defense. Although on paper Paris Saint Germain is better, but they also have the potential to make trouble for the host, as long as they play effectively.

PSG had very bad rate against monaco. This is also being used by the bettors to pick the safe bet. Even though PSG will be facing monaco at home but this match is still very risky to bet. I meant if PSG was strong but monaco is also having very good result against PSG.
The current coach of monaco knew the main weakness of PSG. Last season, PSG was experiencing losses against Monaco, even with the presence of Messi and Neymar. The situation is kinda different since PSG will have no messi and neymar.
The club can only count on mbappe with his performance, mbappe is the only one who can carry the club to win against monaco and break the bad record since last year against this club.
Btts is likely to happen since psg and monaco were always scoring in the previous duels.

You are right and in the last three games they had in PSG against Monaco, PSG could never win the game and beat Monaco but the fact about the games between these two teams is mostly about the new coach PSG is going use for this match.  
The last time PSG beat Monaco was in 2021-2022 when PSG won the game with a 2-0 result and after that, they couldn't win. But I think Enrique can win this match easily this time.
It is very likely that Luis Enrique will break PSG negative trend when they face Monaco this week. It's true that in the last 3 matches, PSG couldn't beat Monaco, but looking at PSG recent performance, I think they will be able to beat Monaco in front of their supporters. Even in this week match, I see that there are no big obstacles for PSG in this match, meaning that none of their main players are injured and that will benefit them to perform better when facing a team that is difficult for them to beat.

These two teams are both at the top of the standings and for Monaco if they can steal points at home to PSG then they will collect the same points as PSG but that will most likely be difficult to happen. On the PSG side, they want to widen the gap with second place, therefore PSG will do anything to get 3 points from this match.

I think you made a very good point. Right now I am trusting PSG because Luis Enrique is the coach. Otherwise, it would have been very hard to actually trust them to be honest. Because the way they had been performing prior to that, was definitely not good. Even though they had arguably the best squad in the world, they were not able to show good performance. But now it seems like they have understood the tactics of the new coach and they are also performing quite consistently. So I also think that this time they will be able to break the negative trend against them and against Monaco.
The match will start in a few hours and I think it will be a risky match for the PSG players, who returned from the tired national team without fully resting. PSG is a strong team and their players are of very high quality. As such, they all go to their national teams during national team breaks and there may be situations where they return from injury. Even if they are not injured, they are tired and cannot be fully productive on the field. I hope they can reflect their expectations on the field in the Monaco match.

Indeed, basically Monaco is not a weak team but yes, it seems that at this moment Monaco does not have a good chance of beating PSG. Because yes, at least their key players are still well available, meaning, not many of their key players are injured and of course they can still play in this big match. Therefore, I sure PSG will be able to take advantage of the factor of playing at home to still get full points. But ya, if for example PSG might only get a draw or maybe even lose, at least PSG will be able to return to the top of the Ligue 1 standings as the season progresses. So ya, I personally still think that PSG will still be fine this season, but for this match against Monaco I really hope for PSG to win.

Apart from the fact that Monaco have won most of their recent matches with Paris Saint German, I think they're still very much in-form like it's just 3 points gap between Monaco and the league leaders Paris Saint German. Monaco have really been in an impressive display so far despite losing 2 matches after playing 12 matches, drew 3 and won 7 matches. Monaco is also an important club in France due to their awesome performance in the France ligue 1 division.

PSG and Monaco match this night isn't really gonna be an easy match as both clubs will be looking forward to claim the 3 points in today's match but however, I see PSG winning this crucial match in other to extend their confidence at the top of the table and for the fact that Monaco have won then more often in their recent meeting will make PSG to increase their energy in winning tonight's match.

I'm glad someone else has also confirmed this about French Ligue 1, very difficult to predict. Just when you think a team like PSG has all the advantages to win a match, they will even lose at home to a smaller team. On the contrary, when you will not expect, you will see them delivering beyond imagination.
Nevertheless PSG have shown impressive record of recently as they have won five out of their last six matches drawing one against a smaller side Clermont Foot. So I will not be surprised if they humble Monaco who have not also been doing badly just that they have lost their glory.
Actually League 1 is not as interesting as other European leagues, so that how we see it. And it's not strange why PSG is easily the strongest team there. This also makes PSG relax more. Meanwhile, in other European League competitions, the competition is almost stable at least in one League the strongest club has more than 4-5 equal competitors. In France it is not visible at all so it is not surprising why there are not so many fans of League 1 apart from just wanting to see PSG play and even then PSG has Mbappe at the moment which is attracting the attention of the audience. Monaco, Lens and Marseille are still not as consistent as PSG, which is dominated by many top players.
Internationally,  French Lig 1 is not that popular as I have not seen a fan of any of the team in mu country. Just like you said, it has always been PSG players that attract many people into paying attention to that league. I don't know if it is bad publicity or the language that is the challenge, maybe it could be management of the league in general.


Then Mbappe departure next season will have a clear impact on the audience interest in League 1 therefore it is not surprising that PSG is determined by all means to keep Mbappe as long as possible.
It will be very difficult for PSG to release Mbappe next season. He is in top form and a key player that score at any given opportunity. Age is on his side and I feel a sense of nationalism might compel him to remain in France. 

Unless perhaps he feels his career will not grow well at PSG base on the fact that they hardly perform well Internationally.  He might decide to leave and pursue his career even though it will be difficult to reject the tempting offer PSG will offer should they get to that point.
