The anticipated match between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and AS Monaco is set to be a crucial encounter in the context of Ligue 1 and its associated tournaments. Historically, PSG has dominated this fixture, having secured victories in their last four meetings, including a decisive 4-2 win over Monaco . This match is particularly significant as it showcases two clubs with contrasting recent forms; PSG remains unbeaten at the top of the league, while Monaco struggles with injuries and inconsistent performances. The Trophee des Champions final adds an extra layer of competition, highlighting both teams' aspirations for silverware.
Les Parisiens are top of the Ligue 1 table and already have a ten-point lead over second-placed Marseille. Luis Enrique’s men have been a dominant force, and they will surely give AS Monaco a run for their money.
After three consecutive wins, PSG were forced into a penalty shootout to secure a hard-fought win over RC Lens in the round of 64 of the French Cup. While the going was not easy for them, the Ligue 1 champions still remain favourites for this fixture.
AS Monaco are third on the Ligue 1 table and are 10 points behind PSG. Having lost 4-2 to Les Parisiens less than three weeks ago, the principality outfit will be eager to avenge that defeat. But, it won’t be easy to take down the best team in France.
Predicted Lineup:
PSG (4-3-3)
Safonov(GK); Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Neves; Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz; Dembélé, Ramos, Barcola
AS Monaco (4-2-3-1)
Köhn(GK); Vanderson, Salisu, Kehrer, Singo; Camara, Magassa; Golovin, Ben Seghir, Akliouche; Embolo
In terms of lineups, PSG's key players such as Ousmane Dembele and Goncalo Ramos are expected to feature prominently . Their offensive capabilities are likely to challenge Monaco's defensive structure. Conversely, Monaco has shown resilience at home but faces difficulties following a string of poor results, including a disappointing goalless draw against Reims and a heavy defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League . Despite their historical prowess at Stade Louis II—where they have only lost one out of fourteen home games—Monaco may find it challenging to cope with PSG’s current form.
Predictive analyses lean heavily towards a PSG victory given their recent performance metrics and player availability. Unfortunately, information regarding free live streams for this high-stakes match remains scarce across available sources. As fans eagerly await the kickoff at Stade Louis II on January 7th, the anticipation builds around whether Monaco can defy expectations or if PSG will continue their dominance in French football.
