Monaco vs Barcelona Betting Tips: Barcelona to Win / Over 2.5 Goals
Two unbeaten sides collide in the Champions League on Thursday at Stade Louis II, as AS Monaco take on Barcelona in what promises to be a thrilling encounter. Both teams come into this contest on the back of strong domestic performances and will be looking to take their league form into Europes´s premier competition.
Led by Hansi Flick, Barcelona have begun the season in excellent form and they make the trip to Monaco on the back of a dominant 4:1 win against Girona that extended their perfect start to the season.
The Catalan giants have scored an impressive 17 goals in just five La Liga games. All five games saw at least three goals netted.
Monaco, under new manager Adi Hütter, have also enjoyed a solid start to their Ligue 1 campaign, remaining unbeaten after four games. However, they face a stiff challenge as they step up to Champions League level.
Despite a strong record against Spanish opposition, Monaco’s recent home form in the Champions League is dismal. The Ligue 1 side have lost each of their last seven home UCL matches.
Given Barcelona´s superb early season performances, the visitors should be expected to claim victory in a likely entertaining contest at Stade Louis II.
I´m backing the Blaugrana to secure a potentially high-scoring win in their opening Champions League match.
