Prediction: 1-1
PSG
There will be fireworks when Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain lock horns at Stade Louis II in a postponed Ligue 1 derby. Les Parisiens aim to melt PSG’s advantage to only four points in the standings and we are positive that Adi Hutter’s troops are going to adopt an attack-minded approach in Wednesday’s encounter. Switzerland striker Breel Embolo is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Christian Elebi is unlikely to feature against les Parisiens after limping off with injury at the weekend.
Luis Enrique’s men, on the other hand, are eager to retain top position in the standings. PSG are undefeated in the new Ligue 1 campaign and they should be happy with one point from the midweek clash as well. A close encounter is on the cards at Stade Louis II and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Randal Kolo Muani is rated doubtful for the visiting side after Luis Enrique left him out of the squad in a 3-1 win over Lyon.
Highlighted Player (Breel Embolo):
Born in Younde, Cameroon on February 14, 1997, Breel Embolo is a striker who plays for Bundesliga side Schalke 04. Embolo began his youth career at Nordstern back in 2008, but two years later he moved to Old Boys.
In 2010 the Switzerland international joined Basel and he continued playing for the RotBlau at senior level. After scoring 21 goals in 61 appearances for the club in the Swiss Super League, Breel Embolo signed a five-year deal with Schalke 04 in June, 2016 for a fee of €20 million.
The Schalke striker made his Bundesliga debut on August 27 in a 1-0 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt. Speaking of his international career, Breel Embolo has four caps for Switzerland U21 team and he made his senior debut on March 31, 2015 in a 1-1 draw with United States of America. Embolo is very powerful striker, he is technically strong, he has explosive pace and a composed finisher.
Highlighted Team (PSG):
Formed by the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain in 1970, Paris Saint-Germain or as they call it PSG is the most successful club in French football with 31 domestic titles to their name. Having won six Ligue 1 title so far, a record ten Coupes de France, a record six Coupes de la Ligue, six Trophees des Champions and one Ligue 2 title, PSG are also one of only two French clubs to ever win a European title.
Les Parisiens were crowned UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup champions back in 1995-96, while their last European trophy was the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Beginning of the new millennium was particularly hard for the celebrated club who flirted with relegation in 2000s before they were bought by the Quatar Sports Investments group in 2011 when the rebirth of the Paris Saint-Germain as we know it today began.
Following heavy squad investments and team boosting, PSG won their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years with Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost singlehandedly leading his side towards the trophy with 30 goals. Having established domestic dominance, PSG now set their sights on winning the Champions League which remains an elusive dream for the club from Paris.
