At the top, intense pressure, 100th minute… The stats before PSG by VBET
They’re inseparable now. Just a few days after the double-legged confrontation in the Champions playoffs, AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain meet again at the Parc des Princes for Matchday 25 of Ligue 1 this Friday (8:45 PM). But before this clash, where the objective will be to repeat the performance of the reverse fixture in the league, here are the key stats compiled by Opta, thanks to our partner VBET. 📊
A historic matchup 📚
Paris Saint-Germain and AS Monaco will meet for the 100th time in Ligue 1, becoming the 46th fixture to reach this milestone in the history of the league. The club from the Principality is the first opponent that PSG will face for the 100th time in the top flight.
Two in-form teams 💪
PSG (12) and AS Monaco (13) are the two teams that have picked up the most points in the last five Ligue 1 matches.
A new dynamic 📈
The Monégasques have won four of their last five matches in Ligue 1 (1 draw), which is one more success than in their previous 14 (3 wins, 3 draws, 8 losses).
An impregnable fortress ? 🏰
PSG have won each of their last seven Ligue 1 home matches and could be on a run of their longest winning streak in the top flight since December 2021-April 2022 (8). Furthermore, having won their two previous home games against AS Monaco in Ligue 1 (5-2 and then 4-1), the Parisian club could record three consecutive victories at the Parc des Princes against the Rouge et Blanc for the first time in their league history.
Another win on the road? 🛫
Winners in Lens 3-2 on Februrar 21, the Rouge et Blanc have not strung together two away wins in Ligue 1 since May-October 2024 (4).
Pressing everywhere on the pitch 🚙
Paris Saint-Germain (58.2%) and AS Monaco (57.9%) are the teams applying high-intensity pressing on the largest proportion of balls touched by their opponents in Ligue 1 this season. They also have the lowest PPDA values (8.8 for PSG, 9.2 for Monaco).
A dangerous opponent ⚠️
Having scored in his last two Ligue 1 games with PSG (2 goals), Bradley Barcola could go on to score in three games in the top flight for the second time after May-September 2024 (4).

Two new centurions? 💯
Folarin Balogun could play his 100th Ligue 1 match (37 with Reims, 62 so far with AS Monaco). The American striker is the second-highest scorer in the league since the 2022-2023 season (38 goals), behind Amine Gouiri (40). He missed the last two league matches, but Maghnes Akliouche is also still one match away from his 100th in the top flight.
