Paris FC can turn pressure high up the field into a quick shot, while Monaco can run behind that pressure. The first goal should open another test of both teams' ability to create from the next phase. Wide delivery and the second ball look central to that exchange.
Sinayoko helped Paris break through against Lens, but Paris produced little attacking follow-up after taking the lead. Brunner's direct run opened Monaco's game against Freiburg, and Vanderson and Nazinho offer further wide supply when Paris step up. Koleosho scored for Paris at Lens and is now out; Monaco's Brunner played substantial minutes in both of his latest matches, while Sané and Teze have already covered the central defence.
If Paris press early, Monaco can send Brunner into the space beyond it. Diop and Abline also gave Monaco a second attacking route after the interval against Lille, and Monaco can keep delivering when the first ball is cleared. That's why I'm siding with Monaco to come through this match, with a level finish still a live outcome for the selection.
