The Ligue 1 is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as AS Monaco lock horns with Christophe Galtier's PSG side in an important clash at the Stade Louis II on Saturday.
Monaco vs PSG Preview
AS Monaco are currently in fourth place in the Ligue 1 standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The home side defeated Clermont Foot by a comfortable 2-0 margin last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment but have not been at their best this season. The Parisian giants crashed out of the Coupe de France after a 2-1 defeat against Marseille in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

AS Monaco vs PSG Prediction
PSG have an impressive squad at their disposal but have flattered to deceive over the course of their campaign. With Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi unlikely to feature in this game, Neymar will need to step up this weekend.
AS Monaco can pack a punch on their day and have troubled PSG on several occasions in the past. Both teams are on an even footing at the moment and could play out a draw in this fixture.
Prediction: AS Monaco 2-2 PSG
