PSG vs Monaco Ligue 1 Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
PSG have barely escaped with two draws to open the season, so Monaco offer value in the Double Chance and H2H markets, with both teams to score backed as the main play for Friday night's Ligue 1 blockbuster in the French capital.
Entering this match winless in their last three games, PSG have some work to do as they attempt to sink their teeth into this Ligue 1 season before beginning the defence of their Champions League trophy next week.
I can't justify PSG as the $1.35 favourites here. Luis Enrique's side have been forced to recover from 0-2 deficits in their opening two games against Rennes and Lille. In the latter, PSG became just the second Ligue 1 team in the last 60 years to secure a point while trailing going into stoppage time.
Something seems off at the champions and Monaco are poised to take advantage.
Monaco did the league double over PSG last season and they've started this term with four consecutive wins in all competitions, with 20-year-old striker Paris Brunner emerging as a potential new star, scoring three goals.
Surely PSG get on the scoresheet at home and Monaco look good for a goal, so both teams to score appeals as the main play for this one. Smaller stakes on Monaco to win or draw and for the outright win, while winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia looks the most likely in attack for the hosts.

PSG vs Monaco Head To Head
Monaco lead the overall H2H 50-39, with 30 draws. Monaco won both league games last term, but PSG knocked them out of the Champions League before winning the competition for the second year running.
PSG Form Analysis
It's been a wild opening to the new Ligue 1 season for PSG.
Spain's World Cup hero Ferran Torres scored two goals after the 70th minute to earn PSG a 2-2 draw with Rennes in their first game before an identical 2-2 share of the spoils with Lille last week.
PSG left it even later, with Vitinha playing a starring role in stoppage time, scoring a screamer himself before assisting defender Marquinhos.
Luis Enrique's side are now on their joint-longest winless run in Ligue 1 since they went four games without a win in the 2022/23 and 203/24 seasons.
PSG Team News
Nuno Mendes remains suspended for this one, while Ousmane Dembele may return after being rested last week.
Monaco Form Analysis
Perfect start to the season for Monaco and new manager Filipe Luís.
The last time Monaco opened a season with four consecutive competitive wins was when the legendary Arsene Wenger was managing the team in 1991/92.
Fair to say expectations have risen, with Monaco securing their spot in the Conference League before winning their opening two Ligue 1 games over Le Havre (1-0) and Marseille (2-0).
Rising star Paris Brunner scored a double in last weekend's triumph over Marseille, with Monaco content to sit back and attack on the counter, finishing with just 35 per cent possession but more shots on target (5-2) and big chances created (3-2).
Monaco Team News
