Monaco will play host to Paris Saint-Germain in a Ligue 1 fixture at Stade Louis II on Friday night. The hosts are heading into the match on the back of a thrilling 3-2 win away to Lens on Sunday, while the Parisians were held to a 1-1 draw with Rennes last time out. The victory helped the Monegasques to move to third spot in the French top flight standings, having collected 41 points from 23 games, just a solitary point clear of fourth-placed Nice and 13 adrift of the visitors, who are sitting at the summit.
Monaco secured their 12th Ligue 1 win of the season at Lens on Sunday thanks to Florian Balogun’s 19th-minute opener, Brice Samba’s own goal on the stroke of half-hour mark and Takumi Minamino’s dramatic winner in the 92nd-minute. The Monegasques have been inconsistent in 2024, recording four wins, three defeats and two draws from their last nine games in all competitions. Adi Hutter’s men have not won successive matches in Ligue 1 since December 2023, and are winless in their last four domestic affairs at Stade Louis II. Meanwhile, the Red and Whites have won their three previous meetings with PSG in Fontvieille.
PSG, on the other hand, saw their five-game winning run across all competitions come to an end versus Rennes in Ligue 1 on Sunday. The Parisians were on the verge of losing only their second top flight match of the season, but Gonaclo Ramos’ 97th-minute equaliser from the penalty spot ensured Louis Enrique’s side’s unbeaten run extended to 19 games in all competitions. Indeed, the capital club has won all five of their away matches in all competitions this year by a combined scoreline of 19-2, most recently defeating Nantes 2-0. Meanwhile, Enrique’s men secured a 5-2 victory over Monaco in the reverse fixture at Parc des Prices earlier this season.
