Monaco – PSG. Forecast and announcement for the match of the French championship

On December 18, the match of the 16th round of the French Ligue 1 will take place at the “Louis II”, in which “Monaco” will meet with “PSG”. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Monaco

The team has traditionally high ambitions, which is not surprising – it managed to become a champion already during the dominance of PSG. And the result of the season before last, when the Monegasques were left without a place in the European Cups, was considered a failure here. Rybolovlev responded by inviting Adi Hütter. And the experienced Austrian immediately gave results, raising his new wards to the 2nd place in League 1. Now the schedule is complicated by appearances in the Champions League. There it turns out differently, from a sensational victory over Barcelona to a listless defeat of Benfica. In the last round, they lost heavily to Arsenal, 0:3. But in general, it is clear that the club should play in the playoffs. At the same time, he is trying to maintain the second position in the domestic arena. Not everything works out here either: they recently conceded to a direct competitor, Marseille, and there was a goalless draw with Reims in the last round.

PSG

The club has long established dominance in French football, and the measure of the success of a particular season and the coach who worked at that time was the Champions League. The last attempt, under Luis Enrique, was successful, let there be a lot of questions, starting from the performances at the group level and ending with the scenario of passing Barcelona. But then there was a result, in the form of a semi-final of the European Cup. Now, with the scandal left in the summer without Mbappe, and in the situation of conflicts between Dembele and the mentor and Kolo-Muani with the management, the situation is much worse. Starting with a lucky win over Girona, the French then added to it only a draw with PSV in the Champions League, losing to Arsenal, Atletico and Bayern. And only from Red Bull Salzburg did they take their souls to the end. Not everything works out in the domestic arena either, although the opponents were given a maximum of draws. But that’s how they finished in a row with Nantes and Auxerre, by no means grands. But Lyon was confidently beaten at the weekend.

Statistics of personal meetings

In the last five face-to-face matches, the Monegasques lost to the champion only once, taking a couple of victories during this stretch.

Forecast

Bookmakers are skeptical about Hütter and his wards. They just lost their form, and the capital club, on the contrary, gave a couple of confident victories. The guests will still win (coefficient – 1.85).
