Paris Saint-Germain v Monaco – Line-ups, stats and preview

Match Preview for Paris Saint-Germain v Monaco

Paris Saint-Germain host Monaco on Friday night as the Ligue 1 leaders look to strengthen their position at the top of the table.

PSG arrive in excellent domestic form, having won nine of their last 10 Ligue 1 matches. Luis Enrique’s side have also been dominant at the Parc des Princes, remaining unbeaten at home in the league this season.

Their recent home performances have been particularly convincing. PSG have won three successive league matches in Paris by an aggregate score of 11-0 and have kept three clean sheets in their last four Ligue 1 outings.

The reigning champions have not lost a league match in the French capital since April 2025, when they were beaten 3-1 by Nice. They have also scored in every home Ligue 1 fixture since a goalless draw with Lorient in August 2023.

Monaco, meanwhile, appear to be building momentum after a difficult spell earlier in the campaign. The Principality club have won three consecutive Ligue 1 matches and are now pushing towards the European qualification places.
