PSG
The reigning Ligue 1 champions will participate in the French Super Cup for the 17th time, having won the trophy on 12 occasions. PSG also featured in the last edition of this tournament, defeating Toulouse 2-0. Notably, PSG has faced their upcoming opponents twice in the Super Cup, winning both encounters (2-1, 4-0).
- At least three goals have been scored in regular time in 6 of the team's last 8 games in this tournament.
- PSG has not conceded more than one goal in 90 minutes in their last 15 Super Cup matches.
- Both teams have scored at least once in the first half in 11 of the club's previous encounters in this tournament.
Monaco
Second place in the last Ligue 1 season granted Monaco the opportunity to participate in the French Super Cup. The club will compete in this tournament for the 7th time, having celebrated victory in four matches. The last time Monaco won this trophy was in 2000.
Goalkeeper Radoslaw Majecki, defender Christian Mavissa Elebi, and forwards Krépin Diatta and Folarin Balogun will miss the game due to health issues. Defender Wilfried Singo will not play due to suspension.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 8 of the club's last 11 Ligue 1 matches.
- Monaco has scored at least once in 5 of their last 6 league games.
- A goal in the first half has occurred in 6 of the team's last 8 Ligue 1 encounters.
PSG vs. Monaco: Match Prediction
Under Luis Enrique's guidance, PSG scores frequently in league matches, netting at least twice in 13 of their last 18 Ligue 1 games. In Super Cup matches, the Parisians also perform well offensively, scoring at least twice in regular time in 10 of their last 11 matches in this tournament. Monaco, on the other hand, has struggled defensively in recent league games, conceding at least two goals in 3 of their last 5 Ligue 1 matches.
Looking at the head-to-head statistics, PSG has scored at least two goals in 16 of their last 21 encounters in Ligue 1, the French Cup, the French League Cup, and the French Super Cup. I believe PSG will manage to breach Monaco's defense twice in the upcoming match. My prediction: PSG individual total over 1.5 goals
