Paris FC vs Monaco: Visitors should be too strong

Monaco have been in fine form as of late and will look to continue their winning streak as they visit Paris FC on Friday night.

The hosts have also been solid lately and have produced some big shocks this season so Les Monegasques cannot take anything for granted. 

Team News

Rudy Matondo returns from suspension for Monaco, but they are still missing several key players through injury, with Pierre-Yves Hamel, Vincent Marchetti, Remy Riou, Tuomas Ollila, Sofiane Alakouche, Julien Lopez and Jean-Philippe Krasso all expected to be absent.

Veteran striker Ciro Immobile has also been struggling with illness and remains a doubt.

Monaco will be without Kassoum Ouattara, Paris Brunner and Caio Henrique while long-term ACL absentees Takumi Minamino and Mohammed Salisu are also out.

Today's Football Fixtures

Monaco @ 19/20

Monaco's season was in real danger of petering out after they were dumped out of the Coupe de France by Strasbourg and lost narrowly to rivals Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League knockout play-off.

However a run of seven league wins in a row has propelled them up the table and they are now in with a real chance of securing Champions League football again for next season.

They have beaten PSG, Lyon and Marseille in their recent run so are the in-form team in France right now as they visit Paris FC.

The hosts are on a six-game unbeaten run themselves and could even sneak a top-half finish if they have a strong end to the season, something which would represent an impressive first season back in the top flight.

However, Monaco are in such fine form as of late and Paris FC have a number of injury issues so it may be worth siding with their unbeaten record to come to an end.

Folarin Balogun anytime goalscorer @ 5/4

Folarin Balogun has long been Monaco's most consistent source of goals and so it has proven again this season.

The former Arsenal man will be desperate to nail down the starting striker's spot in the United States side for the World Cup, so this is a crucial end to the season for him and he looks a solid bet to get on the scoresheet in this clash.

Balogun has 16 goals in all competitions, including six in his last six league games and can extend that impressive run.
