Ligue 1 actions resume with the top-billing clash between leaders PSG and third-placed AS Monaco in Paris on Friday night.
Luis Enrique will demand the utmost concentration from the PSG players before a mammoth clash against AS Monaco. After starting the season slowly and playing catch-up with their opponents on Friday and OGC Nice, Paris Saint-Germain have established a one-point advantage at the summit.
PSG went through a testing week right before the international break, as they suffered an untimely defeat away to AC Milan. Enrique’s men responded in style the following weekend with a stellar display against Stade Reims, with a Kylian Mbappe hat-trick putting Will Still’s side to the sword to establish an advantage at the top.
PSG can take an undisputed four-point lead before the other rival, OGC Nice, play at the weekend. Such a scenario could place pressure on the second-placed side, while a win over AS Monaco would improve their gap over their Friday opponents.
Adi Hutter will want AS Monaco to show confidence when dealing with their toughest adversaries in Ligue 1. Their manager will demand the players show character in away games against the bigger sides, who they should rightfully put up a big fight against rather than get defeated.
The last few games have not been favourable for Monaco in their quest to reign supreme in Ligue 1. They have suffered only two defeats all season, all of which came away from home, against teams equal to them in the top order.
A win over ten-man Brest followed a loss to LOSC Lille, but Monaco drew a blank against Le Havre right before the international break. Hutter’s men were extremely fortunate to come out of that clash with a point and have to thank goalkeeper Philipp Kohn for saving a late penalty from Samuel Grandsir. Hutter will hope his players are refreshed and ready to attack the top of the table and get the better of PSG on Friday night.
