Matchday 21 in Ligue 1 between PSG and Monaco will take place on February 7 at the Parc des Princes in Paris. PSG vs. Monaco: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
PSG
In the previous round, the Parisians had no trouble against Brest, winning 5-2. Luis Enrique's side has won five of their last six league matches (1 draw), but they have conceded in all these games. The team's defense lacks reliability, but with 54 goals scored, PSG is the best in the tournament. In the standings, the club confidently occupies the top spot, leading the nearest rival by 10 points.
Midfielders Warren Zaire-Emery and Joao Neves are injured. Forward Marco Asensio has transferred to Aston Villa.
- At least three goals have been scored in 5 of PSG's last 6 Ligue 1 games.
- At home in the current championship, Luis Enrique's team is unbeaten (8 wins, 2 draws).
- PSG has scored first in their last 8 home matches in this tournament.
Predicted lineup for PSG (4-3-3)
Gianluigi Donnarumma – Nuno Mendes, William Pacho, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos – Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Lee Kang-In – Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembele.
Monaco
The Monegasques played their last two rounds at home, achieving victories over Rennes (3-2) and Auxerre (4-2). Adi Hutter's side managed to improve their league results after a four-match winless streak (2 draws, 2 losses). With six points gained, the team climbed into the Champions League zone, but the gap from the leading Parisians remains significant – 13 points.
Forward Folarin Balogun and defender Wilfried Singo are sidelined due to injuries.

PSG vs. Monaco: Match Prediction
The opponents met less than two months ago in Monaco, delighting fans with a flurry of goals: the match ended with a 4-2 victory for PSG. Matches between these teams in Paris are also high-scoring, with both teams finding the net in 6 of their last 8 Ligue 1 encounters. The current form of both clubs suggests another entertaining clash.
Luis Enrique's side has failed to score in only one league match this season. Meanwhile, for the second time this season, PSG has conceded in six consecutive games. Even Saint-Etienne, who has scored fewer goals than any team except Le Havre, recently breached PSG's defense.
The Monegasques have completely forgotten about defense in their last five league matches, conceding at least two goals in each. However, Monaco's attack has partly compensated for these issues, netting 12 goals during this period. It's unlikely Adi Hutter's side will deviate from their philosophy against PSG. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
