Monaco vs Barcelona Prediction – UEFA Champions League Picks 9/19/24

In this article, we will formulate a Monaco vs Barcelona Prediction for this UEFA Champions League game on Thursday, September 19th at Stade Louis II. To formulate this prediction, we will examine:

-Monaco’s recent form and recent player performance 

-Barcelona’s recent form and recent play performance

-A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for today’s game between Monaco and Barcelona. 

Monaco Looks to Build on Last Game

Monaco in the last game faced off against Auxerre and they scored three goals on the way to the victory. Thilo Kehrer scored in the 8th minute and that ended being the game winner. Monaco had nine shots on target and 59 percent of the possession and that was the difference on the way to the victory. Lamine Camara was dealing with a concussion but he’s back and should be able to play in this game. Edan Diop is still dealing with an injury and he’s not going to be able to go in this game. In this game it’s going to be all about the defense stepping up and making life tough. 

Barcelona Dominated Last Game

Barcelona faced off against Girona in the last game and they were able to secure the 4-1 victory. Lamine Yamal scored in the 30th and 47th minute and that was enough for the victory. Barcelona had 56 percent of the possession and nine shots on target. Fernan Torres picked up a red card in the 86th minute. Dani Olmo is dealing with a long term hamstring injury and he’s going to be out for this game. Fermin Lopez, Gavi, Frenkie de Jong and Andreas Christensen are all dealing with long term injuries and they aren’t going to be able to go in this game. In this game Barcelona’s offense is going to need to get out a fast start. 

Monaco vs Barcelona Prediction

I just don’t see Monaco finding a whole lot of success scoring but their defense is going to step up here also. They know that their best chance here is to probably pick up a draw and that defense is going to need to be the key here. Monaco and Barcelona are going to really struggle to get the offense going here, and the under is going to cash.
