Venue: Stade Louis II.
MONACO
Monaco continued their impressive form in Ligue 1 as they made it five games without defeat with PSG held the draw at the weekend.
They have now scored 13 goals in five games as they continue to evolve attack and they will be confident of upset here.
Monaco tends to name a similar side to the one that claimed a point at the Parc des Princes but Daniel Subasic will be back on the bench.
Predicted line-up (4-4-2): Lecomte; Henrichs, Glik, Maripan, Ballo; Gelson Martins, Fabregas, Bakayoko, Golovin; Ben Yedder, Balde
Not available: Pellegri (Injured), Geubbels (Hurt), Boschilla (Hurt), Naldo (Hurt), Benaglio (Injured)

PSG
PSG's six-game winning streak in Ligue 1 was ended by Monaco as they could only draw in their clash on Sunday.
The French champions twice led at home but can not survive because they were pegged back on both occasions.
Mauro Icardi failed to impress in weekend clashes and he could make way for Edinson Cavani in what may be another tough contest.
Predicted line-up (4-2-2-2): Navas; Meunier, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Juan Bernat; Gueye, Verratti; Di Maria, Neymar; Cavani, Mbappe
not available:
Doubtful: Diallo (Injured)

Monaco vs PSG Predictions
One thing is clear, when these two teams play there is a nearby destination. It is interesting to note that of the 25 meetings last only two have finished 0-0. And we hope it rains goal in midweek. Monaco Coach Moreno understand that to have a chance against PSG you have to attack.
We chose the Monaco Wissam Ben Yedder to score in Paris at the weekend and he did. Ben Yedder is one of the best in-form striker in Europe at the moment and we think he can give PSG all kinds of problems on Wednesday.
At home Monaco is in really good shape and the players react well to Moreno attacking tactics. Prices for them to win with a handicap is a great value, so even if this second match ended in another draw our selection will win.
PSG is about 1.44 which was a bit short considering how they've dropped a few points away and how they meet the looming rival in Paris with a good few days ago.
