Monaco finished the season stronger than PSG and though they head to this game winless in three, they will be hoping for a better start to the new campaign with a win here. They have played six preseason matches, three more than PSG who also have a new coach in Thomas Tuchel. PSG managed a win in their final preseason game, beating Atletico Madrid after their humiliation by Arsenal and this is the form they will want to carry to the game against Monaco, who are smarting from a 3 – 1 beating at the hands of Hamburg. PSG have managed four wins in their last 10 matches and they have scored in nine of the 10 matches, keeping just two clean sheets. They have been the dominant team in the Trophee des Champions, bagging it in the last five years, and their most recent came via a 2 – 1 win over Monaco, last year. They have scored at least twice in each of the last five TDC games and go to this clash on a seven game unbeaten run against Monaco, which entails six straight wins. They will be hoping to improve on their run of one win, a draw and three losses. Monaco have done slightly better in their last five matches, though are winless in the last three. They have two losses, a draw and two wins in the last five games and in their previous 10 matches, Monaco have managed five wins with four clean sheets in the process. They have conceded in each of their last four matches but have scored in their last nine games. Head to head, the two sides have met 51 times and PSG have managed 17 wins, Monaco 19. The last time the two sides met, PSG sunk seven past Monaco in a 7 – 1 win.
