Monaco will look to avenge their humiliating loss in the reverse fixture.

Monaco are currently in third place in the table, thanks to a strong run of form. In the last match, after losing to Toulouse by 5-2, the team defeated Lens in an exciting 2-3 away win. In the reverse fixture, the team lost 5-2 to PSG, but Hutter’s side will be looking to get the better of them in this match by scoring goals from Balogun, Minamino and an own goal from Lens player Samba.

With his philosophy, Luis Enrique has transformed PSG as they are top of the league and reaping the rewards. Only one game in the league has been lost so far, and it was at the start of the season. Since then, they have gone on an unbeaten run of 18 games in the league, proving why they are the best. Even though they have already won silverware in the form of the Supercup, they have the opportunity to complete the quadruple this season as they are well positioned to win the league along with the Coupe De France and the Champions League.
