🔵Paris Saint-Germain | Form: D🟡W🟢W🟢L🔴W🟢W🟢:
Luis Enrique's side extended their unbeaten run by coming from two goals behind to secure a merited 3-2 win in the first leg against Monaco.
They boast a formidable home record in knockout ties and have won three of their last four second-leg affairs in this tournament. They will look to repeat that feat against a Monaco side that will be fighting for their Champions League lives and have memories of a historic comeback against Manchester City to draw upon.
🔴AS Monaco | Form: W🟢L🔴D🟡W🟢L🔴W🟢:
Despite needing a win to keep their Champions League hopes alive, Sebastien Pocognoli's side can take heart from a spirited second-half display in their 3-2 comeback win over Lens on Saturday.
However, they have conceded a combined 12 goals in four Champions League away games this season, and with the pressure mounting, they will have to start getting positive results on the road soon to avoid another elimination.
