REF’s picks

First half under 1.5 goals at 1.50 is a reasonable expectation given the tactical sparring expected in the opening period. While both teams can score, they tend to build momentum gradually rather than rushing forward from the whistle.

1. 1Cautious opening strategies from both managers usually keep early goal counts low.
2. 2Paris FC and Monaco are evenly matched, leading to a cagey opening half-hour.
3. 3Individual brilliance from players like Aleksandr Golovin could catch the defence napping early.
