Ouch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>PSG vs Monaco Odds<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>*All odds are subject to change<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PSG are clear favourites to claim the win here, priced as low as 1.26. An unlikely victory for Monaco is at odds of 8.60, while the draw is 6.40.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>PSG vs Monaco Betting Tips<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Player to score or assist &#8211; Vitinha @ 2.27<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitinha\u2019s stats in this season\u2019s Champions League are quite remarkable. The Portuguese midfielder has five goals and one assist from nine appearances, with four of those goals coming in the last two European home games vs Spurs and Newcastle. So at a price better than evens, this looks a fabulous selection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paris Saint-Germain first goalscorer &#8211; Desire Doue @ 5.20<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doue has scored PSG\u2019s first goal in each of their last two games after a third-minute opener against Metz. The young star left the field early, but is expected to be fine to feature from the off here. As such, we are taking a calculated risk with this market, as the odds on offer are so good!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Folarin Balogun to have over 0.5 shots on target @ 1.62<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With three goals in a matter of days, Balogun is a man in form, so betting on him to have just one shot on target feels like a no-brainer really. We are a tad shocked to see just how good the price is here, and perhaps more surprisingly, he is at odds of 5.60 to score anytime. That selection could also be worth a punt\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you choose NetBet Sport, you can enjoy a whole range of top-quality sports and markets.
