We do expect both teams to score in this one with Barcelona having seen both sides find the back of the net in four of their last five games this season, but an away win feels like the most likely outcome here. We Predict Monaco 1-3 Barcelona.

CLAIM NOWThis Thursday's clash between AS Monaco and Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League offers up a clash between two clubs aiming to re-establish themselves as top contenders in European football.
Monaco enter their upcoming match in strong form, sitting 3rd in Ligue 1 with 10 points from four games under new coach Adi Hütter. Their domestic success, driven by an energetic and aggressive playing style, has raised hopes of a return to European prominence, although past disappointments in Europe still linger. Key players like Denis Zakaria and young talent Lamine Kamara have shone, providing balance to the squad. Meanwhile, Barcelona, revitalized under Hansi Flick, top La Liga with a perfect record. With stars like Lamine Yamal and Pedri in form, Flick’s tactical approach has made Barcelona a more cohesive and defensively solid team. Both clubs are eager to reclaim their status in European football, making this an intriguing clash.
Monaco come into the match with confidence after a commanding 3-0 win over Auxerre, where early goals from Thilo Kehrer and Vanderson set the tone, and Denis Zakaria sealed the victory with a late strike. Meanwhile, Barcelona impressed in their latest game with a 4-1 win over Girona, featuring a brace from young star Lamine Yamal, alongside goals from Dani Olmo and Pedri. This followed a 7-0 thrashing of Real Valladolid, part of a strong run that also included wins over Rayo Vallecano, Athletic Bilbao, and Valencia, highlighting both teams' strong form ahead of their clash.

Claim NowMonaco will once again be without Edan Diop and Radoslaw Majecki, who both continue their return from injuries.
Adi Hütter could stick with the same side that started the game at the weekend given the commanding nature of the performance.
Predicted lineup: Kohn; Vanderson, Salisu, Kehrer, Henrique; Kamara, Zakaria; Akliouche, Golovin, Ben Seghir; Embolo
The visitors still have a pretty lengthy injury list with Ronald Araújo, Andreas Christensen, Frenkie de Jong, Marc Bernal, Ansu Fati and Gavi all still one the sidelines. The latter, however, is very close to a return following nearly a year out with a serious knee injury.
It's unlikely that we'll see any changes to the side that started the game against Girona at the weekend.
Predicted lineup: Ter Stegen; Koundé, Cubarsí, Martínez, Balde; Casado, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski.
