PSG v Monaco Betting Preview – Ligue 1 15th April 8.00pm

This is a top two clash in Ligue 1 and if PSG get the victory in this one the league title will be heading their way with five games to spare. It has been a procession for PSG this season and they are just romping to the finish line without the distraction of Europe. Can Monaco prevent the inevitable by picking up at least a point in this one? They haven’t been able to get the better of them in three previous attempts this season.

PSG v Monaco Betting Tips

PSG have the title within reach then this weekend. They played out a 1-1 draw with Saint Etienne last weekend which snapped a nine-match winning streak that they had put together. That was an away game and they will be looking to extend their winning form at home. PSG have won all sixteen of their home games this season in Ligue 1, a crazy return and in those games, they have scored a staggering 61 goals. That is an average of 3.8 goals per game. At the back, they have taken a clean sheet in 56% of their home games. Not only that, they have scored at least two goals in each of their home games this season so over 3.5 goals at bet365 for 5/6 odds* (betting odds taken at 5:01 p.m. on April 11th, 2018) is worth a look. 56% of their home league games have ended up that way. Top scorer for them this season is Edinson Cavani who is the first goalscorer favourite for the match, and sixteen of his 24 goals this season have been on home soil. Their most frequent scores this season have been a 2-0 and a 3-0 win at home, but a PSG 2-1 for 15/2 odds* (betting odds taken at 5:01 p.m. on April 11th, 2018) in the bet365 correct score market is worth a look as Monaco can threaten.

Monaco didn’t really get themselves going until early December and by that stage, PSG were already romping away with things at the top of the table. Monaco are on a seventeen match undefeated streak of their own at the moment in the French top flight. They are unbeaten in their last seven on the road. They have scored in each of their last five away games as well so both teams to score at bet365 does warrant a look at 4/6 odds* (betting odds taken at 5:01 p.m. on April 11th, 2018). Monaco are W7 D5 L3 away from home this season, but they have failed to collect a win on the road at any of their games against the current top eight in the division (D3 L3). Monaco have averaged two goals per game away from home which is a good return. At the back, they haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last six league outings now and that is going to be a huge concern. They aren’t likely going to keep out a title-seeking PSG on the weekend. 72% of Monaco’s games this season have produced over 2.5 goals.

PSG v Monaco Head to Head

Three times these two have met already this season. The first was in the French Champions Trophy in the summer which PSG won 2-1. That was the scoreline in favour of PSG when they visited Monaco in the league back in November. The two met again just recently at the end of March in the final of the French League Cup and the outcome was the same. PSG took the win, this time 3-0. They are now on a five match winning streak against Monaco in all competitions and unbeaten in six.

PSG v Monaco Predictions

Given the way recent meetings have gone between them it is hard to see anything other than a PSG victory turning up. Monaco just haven’t been able to live with them and this would be a great occasion for PSG to actually claim the league title in. Home win, both teams to score.
