PSG vs AS Monaco Prediction and Betting Tips | 24th November 2023

Ligue 1 football will return after the international break on Friday with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) hosting AS Monaco at the Parc des Princes.

PSG climbed to the top of the Ligue 1 table with a 3-0 win over Reims in their latest outing. Kylian Mbappe scored a brilliant hat-trick to help his side bounce back from a 2-1 loss they had suffered at the hands of AC Milan at the San Siro in the Champions League.

It marked Mbappe's eighth hat-trick in Ligue 1 and he will once again be PSG's main man as they strive to solidify their place at the top of the table this weekend. They hold a slender one-point lead over Nice, who are currently second in the league.

PSG have now won five Ligue 1 games on the trot and will look to steer further clear of their Friday opponents Monaco, who are currently three points behind them.

Monaco went into the international break on the back of a goalless stalemate against Le Havre. It wasn't without drama though as Adi Hutter's men were forced to engineer a lucky escape after Le Havre were awarded a penalty in the dying embers of the match.

Samuel Grandsir's weak effort was comfortably pouched by Philipp Kohn, who ensured the spoils were shared at the end of the night. Monaco currently hold a three-point lead over fourth-placed Lille.

As such, a loss against PSG won't alter their place in the table but they will be hoping for a positive result when they square off against the reigning Ligue 1 champions on Friday.
