Ligue 1 2022-23: AS Monaco vs PSG: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast

The defending champions are currently 8 points clear in the league table.

AS Monaco and Paris Saint Germain are two of the biggest teams in the French top division. Paris Saint Germain has been dominant in recent years, but AS Monaco has always been a tough competitor for them. With a large lead of eight points, Paris Saint Germain are currently enjoying their stay at the top of the Ligue 1 table, but a slump against AS Monaco could complicate things.

The fact that AS Monaco has not lost after the World Cup break makes them a serious threat to Paris Saint Germain, who are coming off a defeat to Marseille. There are some supreme superstars on both teams, and it should be an epic match.

Player to Watch

AS Monaco 

Caio Henrique 

Since the last two years, Caio Henrique has proven himself to be a reliable performer for AS Monaco. He has scored one goal and has provided seven assists for them this season. After the World Cup, he has been continuously creating opportunities for attacking players from the left. With Paris Saint Germain's weak left defence, he can prove to be a real threat. 

PSG

Lionel Messi 

One name that always remains in the spotlight whenever Paris Saint Germain plays is Lionel Messi. The Argentine magician has returned to his known best after a little lack of match sharpness post World Cup. In 18 League appearances this season, he has scored 10 goals and contributed 10 assists.

Match Facts

• AS Monaco are unbeaten post World Cup resumption.
• Paris Saint Germain has the best goal per match ratio (2.5) this season.

Prediction

AS Monaco are unbeaten after the World Cup and looks absolutely breathtaking. They are at their peak at the moment, and Paris Saint Germain could be their next victim. In spite of the fact that Paris Saint Germain are top of the league at the moment, the unavailability of Kylian Mbappe could have a huge effect on the match's outcome. It is likely to be a draw.
