Monaco vs Paris FC Prediction
Les Monégasques went unbeaten across all competitions last month and will look to continue that run here. They have won their last two league games, scoring six goals.
Denis Zakaria, Vanderson, Lukas Hradecky, Eric Dier, Lamine Camara, and Paul Pogba remain sidelined with injuries. Christian Mawissa was injured against Nantes and is a major doubt.
Les Bleus scored three goals in a match for the first time since August on Tuesday, and will look to build on that prolific run here. Three of their five defeats in Ligue 1 this season have been registered on their travels.
Noha Sangui, Julien Lopez, and Sofiane Alakouch will miss this match due to injuries for the capital club. Jonathan Ikoné was injured earlier this week and will likely return after the international break. Thibault De Smet was sent off last week and will serve a suspension here.
Les Monégasques are unbeaten at home this season and should be able to eke out a narrow win.
