PSG to win with ease
PSG vs Monaco might be a big fixture in Ligue 1 but this game will do little to change people's minds about the competitiveness of the French top flight – at least that's our view as we back PSG to win with a -2 handicap applied. PSG have been flying in the early part of the season collecting maximum points from their opening three games but what's more notable is the way they're winning games; they've racked up a combined scoreline of 17-3. Combine that with Monaco's form of played three, won one and you'll start to see where we're coming from. Last time out Monaco were thumped 4-1 by Lens!
Going north of 3.5 goals
Our next prediction for this match sees us back over 3.5 goals. PSG are the main reason for that tip with them having seen a total of 32 goals across their last five games. Each of those games have gone over 3.5 goals in their own right but the game average of 6.4 is pretty damn bonkers too. As for Monaco, they've seen two of their last three games go over 3.5 goals to prove they're not exactly shy of being open and expansive.

Will PSG maintain their perfect start?
This game is a more intriguing one than that meets the eye. PSG look set to steamroll Ligue 1 at the moment and Monaco are making life hard for themselves with an exceptionally slow start. The only saving grace for Monaco is that they have a pretty decent record against their hosts having won three of their last five meetings. Of course, PSG might use that fact to motivate them further.
When you are battering teams left, right and centre it's probably a fairly safe bet that you won't be making mass changes to your team; that's particularly true of the PSG frontline. There are a couple of injuries to be aware of though with Julian Draxler and Idrissa Gueye both long term absentees.
PSG Predicted lineup – Donnarumma, Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Ramos, Mendes, Verratti, Vitinha, Hakimi, Messi, Neymar, Mbappe
It's been an awfully sluggish start to Ligue 1 for Monaco this season and it's not about to get easier as they face the early pace setters in their own back yard. With Myron Boadu a long term injury concern and Vanderson (suspended) both missing from the squad for this trip there will be at least one change to the XI.
Monaco Predicted lineup – Nubel, Maripan, Disasi, Badiashille, Henrique, Diatta, Matazo, Minamino, Jakobs, Embolo, Ben Yedder
