The UEFA Champions League creeps into a Thursday night due to the increased teams in the competition. One of the matches that takes place on Thursday night is French side Monaco versus European giants Barcelona. Barcelona have started the season tremendously, earning 12 points out of 12 in La Liga, as a result of 4 wins. They have scored 13 goals across the 4 league games, including scoring 7 in their last game versus Real Valladolid. Monaco have played 3 games in Ligue 1 to this point, winning 2 and drawing 1, including a 2-0 win away at Lyon on matchweek 2, when they had a player sent off. Here we will look at some football betting tips for this Champions League football match.
🏆 Monaco v Barcelona CL Prediction - 19/09/2024
Barcelona begin their quest to add to their 5 UEFA Champions Leagues away to Monaco. Here is my Monaco v Barcelona prediction. Barcelona have started their La Liga campaign with a 100% record, with three 2-1 victories and one 7-0 victory. They began the season with a 2-1 away win at Valencia and followed that up with a home 2-1 win against Bilbao. Their last 2 games have seen them win 2-1 away at Rayo Vallecano and 7-0 at home to Real Valladolid. There is always pressure on Barcelona and new manager Hansi Flick could not have asked for a better start. Monaco are also unbeaten in their league this season only conceding 1 goal in 3 games. They began their season with a 1-0 win at home to St.Etienne and followed that up with a 2-0 win away at Lyon. Their most recent game before the international break was a 1-1 draw with Lens. This should be an exciting and tight game but I see Barcelona edging it.
My Prediction: 🏆 Monaco 1 - 2 Barcelona ⚽
