AS Monaco will be hoping to return back to winning ways when they welcome league leaders Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday. Both teams are arriving at this fixture from totally different directions. For Monaco, it's about survival and stopping their slump. For PSG, it's about stretching their lead and keeping the rhythm going.
Softfootball understands that Luis Enrique's men have been in good form this season. They are top of the Ligue 1 table, following a recent comfortable 3-0 league win over Le Havre .The team's confidence is high, and the league champions look like they're finally building dangerous momentum.
Monaco, meanwhile, are dealing with something closer to a crisis. Under Sebastien Pocognoli, they're staring at what could be a fourth straight Ligue 1 defeat. Their 2-2 Champions League draw with Pafos did little to ease pressure, especially after they twice threw away the lead.
