Monaco – Paris SG | 20/11/2020

Monaco will attempt to defy the odds and stop Paris Saint-Germain in their tracks when Niko Kovac’s men play host to the champions in Friday’s Ligue 1 encounter. Both sides marched to victory in their most recent games before the international break, with the hosts overcoming Nice 2-1 and PSG scoring three against Rennes in a straightforward win.

With an average of 5.4 match goals seen per game across the last five Ligue 1 (L1) H2Hs, this clash between Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain has high-scoring potential. Despite enjoying a two-game winning run in L1, Monaco have to cope with a 12-game winless streak vs PSG in all competitions (D2, L10), while conceding first by the 30th minute on nine occasions.

Unbeaten in their opening five top-flight home fixtures (W3, D2), the hosts are currently enjoying their best home start to a new league campaign since 2017/18. In fact, they will be especially keen for a good start in this game considering they are unbeaten in their last ten L1 home games in which they registered a HT lead (W8, D2).

Sticking with that potentially high-scoring theme, PSG have averaged 3.25 team goals per match across their eight L1 wins this campaign, with 61.54% of their goals coming in the second half. However, a league-low one of their ten league games to date has witnessed goals at both ends.

Currently on a run of four-straight top-flight away wins, the visitors have the opportunity to register a fifth consecutive away league clean sheet for the first time since January 2016! Usually strong from the off when playing away, PSG are the only L1 side yet to concede a first half goal on the road this L1 campaign, returning a HT record of: W3, D2.
