Encounters between AS Monaco and PSG are historically thrilling, often featuring a flurry of goals. Looking at the last 12 Ligue 1 meetings, a striking pattern emerges:
- Across these 12 matches, a staggering 59 goals have been scored, averaging nearly 5 goals per game (approx. 4.9). This statistic alone points towards an open, high-scoring affair.
- Eight of these last twelve matches have seen over 3.5 goals, demonstrating a strong tendency for goals from both sides.
- When playing at home, Monaco has a surprisingly strong record against PSG in recent years, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last five home fixtures against the Parisian giants. This suggests Monaco elevates their game when PSG visits the Stade Louis II.
- PSG has won 5, Monaco 4, and 3 draws in the last 12 overall H2H matches, indicating a relatively balanced rivalry despite PSG’s domestic dominance.
Our Prediction
Considering PSG’s potent attack and current league form, combined with Monaco’s strong offensive output but vulnerable defense this season, we anticipate a goal-filled match. The head-to-head history further reinforces this expectation, with a high average of goals per game and a significant number of matches going over the 3.5 goal mark.
While Monaco’s home record against PSG is commendable, PSG’s overall quality and Monaco’s defensive frailties suggest that both teams will likely find the back of the net multiple times. Therefore, the value lies in backing a high-scoring game.
Best Bet:
Over 3.5 Goals
