Bookmakers in the couple consider the Parisians clear favorites, and one can generally agree with that, as Monaco lost a number of players in the midseason, wherein important, and the players that have replaced him will need time to fully adapt in the new squad. PSG, in their turn, have a stable squad and no big losses.
Monaco prepared for the upcoming season, playing friendly matches, and only one victory was registered in five control encounters over Stoke City, as well as draws with Rapid Wien, PSV, Fenerbahce and a loss against Sporting. The results are not that good and they only mean, that there is a restructuring in the team.
However, PSG did not show their best at the international cup in PSG. The team only managed to win one out of three games at the tournament. The victory fell on an encounter with Roma, although in the penalty shootout, as the full-time ended in a 1:1 draw. Apart from the victory, there were defeats 2:4 against Tottenham and 2:3 against Juventus.
PSG still haven’t gained their best conditions, but the team didn’t lose a single leader this midseason, unlike Monaco, which sold a lot of first squad players to different clubs. In this situation one might say, that PSG are well-deserved favorites of the upcoming game and may probably start the official season over principal opponents.
