Monaco has won so many consecutive home games (six in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stade Louis II. We remember; it was Olympique Marseille.

A goal frenzy last time out for Monaco, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Paris Saint Germain. Fun stuff to watch!

Paris Saint Germain form and stats

Paris Saint Germain have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.

Paris Saint Germain delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Monaco (placed 8th) in their previous match; a Ligue 1 game. Prior to that match, a home win 6-1 against Saint-Etienne in the Coupe de la Ligue.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Paris Saint Germain, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

The schedule is very tough for Paris Saint Germain now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Coupe de France game at Lorient is waiting in only four days.

Paris Saint Germain have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 19 goals from 9 away matches. It's not easy to score on Paris Saint Germain as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
