Paris Saint-Germain and AS Monaco Preview
Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain and AS Monaco will play against each other in the final of the Trophée des Champions on Sunday in Doha, Qatar. It’ll be a clash between two relatively well-matched teams in which PSG, owing to their history, might have a slight advantage.
However, their opponents will not let them get off easily and Paris Saint-Germain will have to be on top of their game.

PSG like to dominate possession at all times. The team have been in good defensive form lately. They’ve kept a clean sheet in two of their last five matches and conceded less than two goals in the rest. This means they’ll be geared up to prevent the Monaco attackers from roaming freely and taking up space in this game.
AS Monaco
Monaco, who have long been under the shadow of PSG in French football, will want a way out of this bondage by winning this game. If they do, they’ll write a history that their supporters will be extremely proud of. The attacking unit like to make good use of the wings, and it’ll be interesting to see how the players beat the Paris Saint-Germain fullbacks.
High risk, high reward 👀🫡

In the league, PSG are first and Monaco second, but in this final, nothing else will matter. Both these teams will have to outperform each other and not leave anything for the future.
With striker Embolo at the top, Les Monégasques will hope to put a few goals into the Paris Saint-Germain net and worry their opponents with their short-passing tactics. Monaco also like to play with pace and not wait to keep the ball for too long.
Bet hereParis Saint-Germain and AS Monaco Prediction
- Pick: Paris Saint-Germain to win
- Odds: 1.635 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 AS Monaco
PSG appear to be the favourites to win, and we expect them to do so quite comfortably. Monaco have not won once in the last three matches played between these two teams, and this will be haunting them. Hence, we anticipate Paris Saint-Germain to win this clash by a good margin.
PSG’s attackers, led by Barcola and Dembélé, will be keen on getting quick goals against Monaco and uplifting their team’s morale. They’ve also won both the matches recorded between these two teams previously in this tournament. These stats comfortably sway the balance in favour of the stronger Paris Saint-Germain.
Paris Saint-Germain and AS Monaco Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: 1.58 (22Bet)
Both these teams have a lot of top-class attackers in their ranks – Dembélé for PSG and Embolo for Monaco. Hence, we expect them to get on the scoresheet (BTTS.)
The defenders of each team will have a hard time keeping tabs on their opposition attackers as each side plays one-touch and combination football in the final third.
The presence of wingers in both teams also adds class when it comes to crossing the ball and heading it into the net. Given the standard of attacking players on display here, we expect both teams to score.
