Paris Saint-Germain vs Monaco

PSG are unbeaten in their six home matches against Monaco. The two sides met in the Champions League last month and fought back to draw 2-2, with PSG progressing to the next round 5-4 on aggregate.After another mistake by Lens, Paris Saint-Germain have extended their lead at the top of the league table, having won their second consecutive top-flight game last week. The defending champions have won nine home games this year and are unbeaten in their previous 10 league matches.Luis Enrique’s side have kept three clean sheets in their last four league games and won three straight domestic games at the Parc des Princes with a combined score of 11-0.On Friday, Monaco’s Sebastien Pocognoli has the chance to lead his team to consecutive away wins in the league for the first time since taking charge, after his side came back from two goals down to beat Lens 3-2.A place in European competition next season is now well within Monaco’s reach, as they sit just three points behind Lille and Rennes in fifth and sixth place respectively ahead of this weekend.A win this week would see Monaco complete a league double over PSG in a single season for the first time since 2020-21, having beaten PSG 1-0 at the Stade Louis II earlier this campaign.
