Monaco vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

 by Sridhar in Champions League Predictions

Monaco’s unbeaten start to the season comes under a stern test as they welcome red-hot Barcelona in the Champions League this week. This matchday one fixture of the 2024-25 competition to be played at the Stade Louis II in Monaco on Thursday promises to be an exciting match. Read more to find our prediction.

The Champions League will start in a new avatar as 36 teams fight in the league phase to see if they can stay in the top-24 spots to get a shot at qualification for the knockouts. After this round, Monaco will still have the likes of Benfica, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Inter Milan on their fixture list. This isn’t going to be easy for the French side and maximizing their home advantage will be crucial to their success.

Barcelona will be out to spoil Monaco’s party as they aim for a good start themselves. They have some tricky upcoming matches themselves, with Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Benfica and Atalanta the most notable. With some tight games on the horizon, a good start is vital for their chances.

Can Monaco continue their good form, or is Barcelona too strong for the hosts?

Monaco - Barcelona: Form Analysis

Monaco made a steady start to their Ligue 1 campaign with 10 points from four matches and two behind early leaders PSG. They defeated Auxerre 3-0 over the weekend, making it three wins and one draw from their last four competitive matches. That result also marked a third clean sheet for the home team in their four matches this season, a tribute to their growing defensive strengths. Will that be enough as they make a much-awaited return to this competition?

Monaco is back in the Champions League for the first time since the 2018/19 season.

The hosts would be keen to make it a winning start on their return, although they face one of the most dangerous teams in Europe at the moment. Barcelona have made a flying start to their season, winning all five league matches and sitting pretty at the top of the La Liga table.

It is not just the wins, but the manner of victories that makes Barcelona a tough team on current form. They have scored 11 goals in their last two matches, after starting the season with three consecutive wins by a 2-1 scoreline. Despite injuries sweeping the squad, the Catalans have made the most of the impressive form of Raphinha, Dani Olmo, and Lamie Yamal, although the injury to Olmo is a setback.

Monaco & Barcelona Squad Analysis

Lamine Camara has been stretchered off in the match against Auxerre at the weekend, but the Monaco midfielder is cleared to play after concussion protocols. That leaves Monaco with Mamadou Coulibaly, Edan Diop, and Radoslaw Majecki as the confirmed absentees for this match. Most of the injuries are from the opponent camp, as Barcelona is struggling with a number of absentees.

Dani Olmo is out until October with a hamstring injury.

Barcelona’s latest signing has been impressive, scoring three goals in three matches for his new club, but the injury in the win over Girona has proven to be expensive. The Catalans are also sweating over Ansu Fati’s leg injury, although he is unlikely to storm into the playing XI.

The other confirmed absentees include Ronald Araujo with a red card suspension, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, and Fermin Lopez, all missing due to various injuries.

When it's the Champions League, the focus obviously shifts to Robert Lewandowski, with the Polish striker looking to add to his tally of eight goals for Barcelona in this competition. For the hosts, Denis Zakaria comes in with some impressive form, having scored two and assisted once in his last two matches for Monaco.

Monaco - Barcelona Key Points

  1. Monaco have scored at least two goals in two of their last three matches.
  2. At home, Monaco have scored at least once in their last seven competitive matches.
  3. Barcelona’s five competitive matches this season have produced over 2.5 goals.
  4. Five of Barcelona’s last six Champions League matches have seen at least three goals scored.

Monaco vs Barcelona - Other Interesting Predictions

Lamine Yamal to score anytime

Lamine Yamal is showing the best of his ability in the recent games, as was evident in the brace he scored for Barcelona against Girona. Not just that, he had four assists and one goal in four matches for the Catalans prior to that. There’s every chance that the sizzling youngster gets on the scoresheet here. Back him to find the back of the net.
