AS Monaco are set to play Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Louis II on Sunday in Ligue 1.
AS Monaco come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Carlos Carvalhal's Braga in the second leg of the Round of 16 in the UEFA Europa League. A first-half goal from Spanish attacker Abel Ruiz for Braga was cancelled out by a late second-half goal from centre-back Axel Disasi for AS Monaco.
Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, beat David Guion's Bordeaux 3-0 in Ligue 1. Goals from French superstar Kylian Mbappe, Brazilian attacker Neymar and Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes secured the win for Mauricio Pochettino's Paris Saint-Germain.

AS Monaco vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction
AS Monaco are currently 8th in Ligue 1, and have won one of their last five league games. Last season's success under Niko Kovac's management has not been replicated this season, with Kovac no longer at the club. French striker Wissam Ben Yedder has once again been in excellent form though, registering 15 league goals.
Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, have been the talk of the town yet again, and not for positive reasons. Their embarrassing Champions League exit looks to have accelerated the process of Kylian Mbappe leaving the club this summer. The France international has been the club's best player this season by a comfortable margin, and looks set to join Real Madrid on a free transfer.
Paris Saint-Germain should win, despite their inconsistencies.
Prediction: AS Monaco 1-2 Paris Saint-Germain
