Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Paris St-Germain are in great form coming into this game, unbeaten in their last six games across all competitions. One of those results stands out in particular is it when they beat AS Monaco in their own backyard, and in style too, putting four goals past them. Monaco do still have a chance in this match with their young stars coming through this season and some great cover that can make an impact off the bench. Sunday is a massive game for both sides so hopefully we can look forward to a back and forth match with plenty of goals.

Paris St-Germain Preview

Formation: 4-3-3

Predicted Line-Up: Gianluigi Donnarumma; Nuno Mendes, Willan Pacho, Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi; João Neves, Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz; Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé

Paris St-Germain have had an excellent start to the season, finding themselves 10 points clear from second place at the top of the table. After 16 games they sit in first place with 12 wins and four draws, still actually yet to lose. Those matches have left them with 40 points, looking uncatchable from top spot. Stepping up this season for Les Parisiens have been the pairing of wingers in Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé. The two of them have both achieved 12 goal contributions each, making up more than half of PSG’s 44 goal tally in Ligue 1. Unfortunately this isn’t a domestic league match but the French Super Cup. All the PSG fans will be hoping that the duo of Barcola and Dembélé will be able to translate that Ligue 1 form and translate it into a great performance this Sunday.

AS Monaco Preview

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-Up: Phillip Köhn; Vanderson, Mohammed Salisu, Thilo Kehrer, Wilfried Singo; Soungoutou Magassa, Lamine Camara; Aleksandr Golovin, Eliesse Ben Seghir, Maghes Akliouche; Breel Embolo

AS Monaco are having an great start to the season, finding themselves in a fight for second place in Ligue 1 as their opponents have already run away with a hefty lead. After 16 games they sit in third place with nine wins, four losses and three draws. Those matches have left them with 30 points, sharing that tally with second placed Marseille but it is goal difference that is the reason as to why they are not higher up the table. In the goals for Les Rouge et Blanc has been youngster Eliesse Ben Seghir. The 19 year old winger has put up eight goal contributions with five of them coming from getting on the scoresheet. This Sunday is probably Monaco’s best chance of winning some silverware this year so Ben Seghir and the rest of his teammates will have to be in top form to try and take down French giants Paris St-Germain.
