Paris Saint-Germain will host AS Monaco on Matchday 3 of the Ligue 1 season, seeking their first victory after a challenging start. The French champions failed to win their last two league games against Lille and Rennes and lost the Trophée des Champions final 1-0 to Lens. Meanwhile, AS Monaco arrives in formidable form, having won all four of their games this season, including an impressive 2-0 victory over Marseille. Historically, Monaco has proven a tough opponent for PSG, even securing a double over them last season in the league and drawing in the Champions League. For PSG, Nuno Mendes remains suspended, but Ousmane Dembélé is expected to return. Lucas Hernandez or Lucas Digne will cover fullback. AS Monaco faces significant injury concerns with Takumi Minamino, Mohammed Salisu, and Ansu Fati sidelined. The match is predicted to end in a 1-1 draw.
