ABOUT THE MATCH
Paris Saint-Germain is going head to head with AS Monaco starting on 28 Aug 2022 at 18:45 UTC at Parc des Princes stadium, Paris city, France. The match is a part of the Ligue 1
Paris Saint-Germain take on Monaco in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
The hosts are looking to maintain their 100% record in the league after three matches.
With 17 goals scored in just three games, PSG look like they are going to be incredibly tough to stop as they aim to retain their Ligue 1 title under new manager Christophe Galtier this season.
Galtier’s side travelled to their manager’s former stomping ground at Lille, where he sensationally won the Ligue 1 title two seasons ago, and ran out 7-1 winners in an absolute rout.
Kylian Mbappe scored the fastest goal in Ligue 1 history, with the France forward latching onto Lionel Messi‘s lofted through ball to fire the visitors ahead after just eight seconds. Goals from Messi, Achraf Hakimi and Neymar wrapped up the victory before half-time, with Neymar adding another and Mbappe completing a hat-trick in the second half.
Having learned their Champions League group stage opponents earlier this week – Juventus, Benfica and Maccabi Haifa – their main focus will, of course, be winning their maiden European Cup this season, but motoring along in Ligue 1 can only help their cause on that front, and they will feel confident of dispatching Monaco on Sunday on current form.
Monaco, of course, missed out on competing in the Champions League group stage after losing 4-3 on aggregate to PSV Eindhoven in the third round of qualifying earlier this month.
Philippe Clement, who massively improved Monaco’s form after taking over in January earlier this year, has not made the ideal start to his first full campaign at the club, with their Champions League disappointment compounded by gaining only four points from their first three league games.
Indeed, their 4-1 defeat at home to Lens last weekend came out of the blue, with the visitors blowing Monaco away with goals from Lois Openda, Deiver Machado and Seko Fofana before the hour mark.
Monaco, meanwhile, will travel without Vanderson as the defender serves a one-match suspension, while Myron Boadu is ruled out with a foot injury.
Ruben Aguilar should replace Vanderson at right-back, while Mohamed Camara is likely to come into central midfield in an attempt to shore that area of the pitch up.
Yilan Okou and Willem Geubbels remain injury doubts due to muscle strains, but Fofana could partner Camara in midfield having served his suspension last time out, with former Liverpool man Takumi Minamino likely to be sacrificed in attack.
Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:
Donnarumma; Ramos, Marquinhos, Kimpembe; Hakimi, Paredes, Verratti, Mendes; Messi, Neymar; Mbappe
Monaco possible starting lineup:
Nubel; Aguilar, Disasi, Badiashile, Henrique; Lucas, Fofana, Camara; Diatta, Ben Yedder, Embolo
