Paris Saint-Germain’s difficult start to the Ligue 1 season continues with a meeting against Monaco, who have made a perfect opening to the campaign and currently lead the table.
The reigning French champions are 12th after two rounds, with two points from a possible six. Paris Saint-Germain have avoided defeat so far, but they have been unable to claim a win, drawing both of their matches 2-2.
Their first stalemate came against Rennes before they recorded the same scoreline against Lille. Those results have left Paris Saint-Germain eight points behind Monaco at this early stage of the season.
Monaco, by contrast, have won both of their opening league matches. The six points collected by the side have taken them to the top of the Ligue 1 standings.
The start to the campaign has been particularly impressive defensively, with Filipe Luis’ team yet to concede a goal. That record gives Monaco the strongest possible platform ahead of their trip to face the reigning champions, while Paris Saint-Germain will be seeking their first victory of the season.
The match is scheduled to begin on 4 September at 22:05 Moscow time. Live coverage of the game will be shown on the Okko Sport channel.

The contrast between the two teams’ starts makes the fixture an important early test for both sides. Paris Saint-Germain have collected points in each of their first two matches but remain outside the leading places because both games ended in draws. Monaco have taken maximum points and have not allowed an opponent to score.
For Paris Saint-Germain, the immediate objective is to turn their unbeaten record into a first league win. The two 2-2 results have produced four goals in total across their opening matches, but the champions have also failed to protect either lead well enough to secure victory.
Monaco arrive with six points and an unblemished defensive record. Filipe Luis’ side can therefore begin the match from the summit of the table, while Paris Saint-Germain start it in 12th position.
