How teams arrive for the classic
In search of another French title, Paris previously drew 1-1 with Rennes at home in the last round, with a goal from Gonçalo Ramos. Thus, the team increased its undefeated streak, counting all tournaments, to 19 games. However, the gap to second-place Brest narrowed to 11 points.
For the match, coach Luis Enrique continues to be without goalkeeper Sergio Rico or defenders Presnel Kimpembe and Milan Škriniar, who are injured. Also defender Marquinhos is in pain and could be spared. With that, former São Paulo player Lucas Beraldo should start playing the match.
After the Ligue 1 duel, PSG has an important clash against Real Sociedad next week in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. In the first game, the Parisian team beat the Spaniards 2-0, with goals from Kylian Mbappé and Bradley Barcola at the Parc des Princes stadium.
On Monaco’s side, coach Adolf Hütter will be missing midfielder Denis Zakaria, who is suspended due to the accumulation of yellow cards. On the other hand, in the physical part, the absences will be left-back Caio Henrique, midfielders Vanderson, Mohamed Camara and Krépin Diatta, and striker Breel Embolo.
The Monegasque team comes from a 3-2 victory against Lens away from home. Folarin Balogun, Wesley Saïd and Takumi Minamino scored the goals for Monaco. With this result, the team rose to third place in Ligue 1 with 41 points, two less than Brest.
