As a result, we expect a close match, with Real Madrid winning 1-0 at the end of the day.

Let’s see what happens.

Paris Saint Germain – Monaco | Ligue 1 (12.12.2021, 19:45)

When PSG and Monaco meet in Ligue 1 round 18 at Parc des Princes, there will be fireworks. PSG is now in first place in Ligue 1 with 42 points, 11 points ahead of Rennes in second place. PSG have been struggling in recent games and will be looking to get back on track in this match. Their most recent match with Lens resulted in a 1:1 tie, extending their losing record to two games.

The Monegasques, on the other hand, thrashed Metz 4-0 in their most recent league game. Monaco has been in excellent form of late, defeating PSG in both encounters last season, but PSG even overcame them in the French Cup final in May thanks to Icardi and Mbappe’s goals.

Paris Saint-Germain WLWDDW

PSG are looking to build on their 4-1 Champions League victory over Club Brugge.
In that game, Paris Saint-Germain had 60% possession and 17 shots on goal, 9 of which were on target. Kylian Mbappé (2′, 7′) and Lionel Messi (38′, 76′) scored goals for Paris Saint-Germain. Club Brugge, on the other hand, had 15 shots on goal, six of which were on target. Club Brugge’s goal came from Mats Rits (68′).

In recent years, it has been unusual for Paris Saint-Germain to keep a clean sheet. The data shows that Paris Saint-Germain has allowed opponents to score in 5 of their last 6 games, allowing 6 goals in the process. Of course, that kind of tendency isn’t likely to continue in the next game.

  • The previous Paris Saint-Germain match against RC Lens finished 1-1.
  • In the last 10 games, Paris Saint-Germain have managed to score 16 goals, with an average goal of 1.6.
  • In the past 6 months, Paris Saint-Germain has won 13 out of 17 games. In addition, of the last 5 games played at home, they have won 4.

Monaco enters this match on the back of a 4-0 Ligue 1 victory over FC Metz in their previous match.

In the game, Monaco had 65 percent possession and 8 shots on goal, 5 of which were on target. Sofiane Diop (2′), Kevin Volland (44′), Gelson Martins (57′), and Wissam Ben Yedder (87′) scored for Monaco. FC Metz, on the other hand, had 6 shots on goal, none of which were on target.

Monaco has scored 12 goals in their last six matches, according to Niko Kovac. During that time period, they have conceded a total of five goals.

  • In their last match, Monaco recorded a 4–0 victory when they took on FC Metz.
  • The team’s attacking forces have scored 19 goals in their last 10 meetings. As well as this, Monaco has drawn an average of 1.9.

  • Monaco – Paris Saint Germain 3-2 (20.11.2020)
  • Monaco – Paris Saint Germain 1-4 (15.01.2020)

Prediction

We believe that Paris Saint-Germain will be able to create a significant number of chances and successful shots on target in this encounter.

Monaco, on the other hand, may find it difficult to find the back of the net, though we believe they will eventually see enough of the ball to score.

When all is said and done, we believe Paris Saint-Germain will win by a score of 3-1.
