Matchday 21 of Ligue 1 between PSG and Monaco will take place on February 7 at Parc des Princes in Paris. PSG vs. Monaco: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
PSG
The Parisians had no trouble in their last match against Brest, winning 5-2. Luis Enrique's side has won five of their last six league matches (1 draw), but they have conceded in all of those games. While their defense lacks reliability, PSG is the top-scoring team in the tournament with 54 goals. They confidently sit at the top of the table, leading the nearest rival by 10 points.
Midfielders Warren Zaïre-Emery and João Neves are injured. Forward Marco Asensio has transferred to Aston Villa.
- At least three goals have been scored in 5 of PSG's last 6 Ligue 1 matches.
- Under Luis Enrique, the team has not lost at home this season (8 wins, 2 draws).

Monaco
The Monegasques have played their last two matches at home, securing victories against Rennes (3-2) and Auxerre (4-2). Adi Hütter's side has improved their league results after a four-game winless streak (2 draws, 2 losses). With six points gained, the team has climbed into the Champions League zone, but they still trail the leading Parisians by a significant 13 points.
Forward Folarin Balogun, defender Wilfried Singo, and midfielder Lamine Camara are sidelined with injuries.

PSG vs. Monaco: Match Prediction
The teams met less than two months ago in Monaco, where PSG won 4-2, thrilling the audience with a goal-fest. Matches between these teams in Paris are also high-scoring, with both teams scoring in 6 of their last 8 encounters in Ligue 1. The current form of both clubs suggests another entertaining match is on the cards.
Under Luis Enrique, PSG has failed to score in only one league match this season. This is the second time this season that the Parisians have conceded in six consecutive Ligue 1 games. Even Saint-Étienne, who scored fewer goals than anyone except Le Havre, managed to find the net against PSG recently.
Monaco has completely neglected defense in their last five league matches, conceding at least two goals in each. However, their attack has somewhat compensated for defensive issues, scoring 12 goals in that period. Adi Hütter's side is unlikely to abandon their attacking philosophy against PSG. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
