PSG
Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 1-1
Monaco
There will be fireworks when PSG and Monaco go head to head at Parc des Princes in the Ligue 1 round 18. Les Parisiens came from behind to share the spoils with Lens at the weekend, with the team retaining top position in the standings. All Neymar, Julian Draxler, Ander Herrera, and Sergio Ramos miss out with injuries, but both Presnel Kimpembe and Colin Dagba should be fit for the match. Kylian Mbappe returns to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the 1-1 draw with Lens.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, rolled over Metz 4-0 in their last league match. Monaco have find their best form of late, and we predict that they are capable of holding PSG to a draw in the “City of Lights”. All Cesc Fabregas, Krepin Diatta, and Benoit Badiashile are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Lionel Messi):
Lionel Messi is regarded as one of the best players in the history of football. He was born on 24 June, 1987 in Rosario and he began his football career at Newell’s Old Boys. At age 10 he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency, but having realized his potential at a young age, Barcelona decided to pay for his treatment.
Messi joined Barca in 2001 and he has been playing for the Camp Nou outfit ever since. The Argentine magician has won eight La Liga trophies with Barca and he helped the Catalan giants lift no less than four Champions League titles (2005/2006, 2008/2009, 2010/2011, 2014/2015).
In the 2011/2012 La Liga campaign Messi scored 50 goals for Barca, while netting 14 goals in the 2011/2012 Champions League campaign. The five-time Golden Ball award winner has established himself as Barcelona’s all-time top scorer, but he has yet to win a trophy with Argentina national team at major tournaments. Leo Messi, though, has won Olympic Gold Medal (2008) and FIFA World Youth Championship (2005), with la Albiceleste.
Highlighted Team (Monaco):
Though based in Monaco, Les Rouges et Blances – as they are commonly referred to – play their games in the French football league system. Members of the top tier Ligue 1, Monaco play their home matches at the Stade Louis II in Fontvieille in front of 18,500 people. The Principality club boasts a turbulent history, which saw Monaco reach the highest heights of both domestic and international scene, but also get relegated to the amateur leagues at the very beginnings and to Ligue 2 in 2010-11 season.
The following year AS Monaco were acquired by the Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, whose heavy investments turned the Principality club into one of the biggest spenders in Europe in 2013 and reestablishing its place among Europe’s top clubs.
AS Monaco have had notable European results in the modern football era having been runners-up in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1992 and the UEFA Champions League in 2004. One of the most successful clubs in France AS Monaco have so far won seven league titles and five Coupe de France trophies.
