PSG vs Monaco are the two leading teams of the Lenten origin. There are also two clubs that have won 15 Ligue 1 titles in recent years. In recent years, the championship of the French league still called the familiar owner is the club of Paris. And the only team that can break the championship circuit "the gods" of the French rich man no one outside the Monaco national team.
Before the new season, the Prince of the Park has many turbulence in terms of personnel. Coach Unai Emery was replaced by coach Thomas Tuchel, meanwhile, they also welcomed the presence of 38-year-old goalkeeper Gigi Buffon. Both these new factors have taken the momentum, rubbing against the club during the summer tour.
However, recent matches have witnessed the poor form of defending champion France. They only won one match and lost two of their last three matches. Significantly, the display 1-5 of the representative of England - Arsenal. Fortunately, in their last match at the 2018 International Championships, they managed to beat Atletico 3-1.
The reason is, Thomas Tuchel is not getting the best players to bring to ICC this time. Major players such as Mbappe, Neymar and Cavani have all been working in Russia for the 2018 World Cup, and the youngsters are still far behind. with the main lineup.
This is more evident when quality strikers return to Atletico and bring about a good performance, at least in terms of playability. The only bright spot that PSG has been found is the talent of Nkunku, who repeatedly scored in recent matches of the French giants.
In the opposite direction, Monaco is also appreciated because they are always the most likely counter that can stop the PSG progress to the championship. Not having too many stars in the industry, but with a consistent and quality team, Monaco always contains the uncomfortable and formidable strength, and ready to make the opponent pay the price if "blindfold".
In the summer, the Louis II team also had many changes in strength. Midfielder Fabinho has left to go to Liverpool, but they have another timely addition, Alexandr Golovin, and the Russian rookers will be able to make their debut in today's match.
In recent times, like PSG, the national team is also lacking stability. In the last four matches, Leonard Jardim's team had only one win against Cercle Brugge (3-2), while the other three lost the same score as Paderborn, Bochum and only had victory over Hamburger in his most recent appearance.
Based on the long history of 33 encounters between the two teams, the balance is on Monaco with 11 wins. Paris club has only 8 times enjoyment, 11 times remaining two teams to win. But in particular, the last six encounters, the home field of the princes were unbeaten, most notably two times last season's match, PSG won the total score 10-1 (3 -0 in turn and 7-1 in turn).
With the nature of a title match, both teams are rushing to prepare and will be serving the best players. Possibly, both teams will offer an open play and double play after the whistle. Although both are not in high form, but with the potential and ability, especially the psychological advantage of the last two crush Monaco with the score difference, PSG will know how to solve the match. , and a familiar ending may occur again.
Probable teams:
PSG: Buffon, Alves, Marquinhos, T. Silva, Yuri, Pastore, Lo Celso, Rabiot, Di Maria, Nkunku, Draxler.
Monaco: Subasic, Jorge, Jemerson, Raggi, Toure, Golovin, Moutinho, Sidibe, Lemar, Lopes, Falcao
