European giants FC Barcelona kick off their 2024/25 Champions League campaign with an away trip to face AS Monaco on Thursday September 19th. Barcelona have started their first season under new head coach Hansi Flick in impressive fashion winning all four of the German’s first four matches in charge, scoring 13 goals in the process and conceding 3. AS Monaco for their part have begun their Ligue 1 season in steady fashion sitting in fourth at the international break, winning two of their first three and drawing the other. It is the first time since the 2018/19 that Monaco have qualified for the Champions League, but they face a daunting prospect with the visit of a confident FC Barcelona on matchday 1.

🏆 Monaco vs Barcelona Prediction – 19/09/2024

In this part of our betting guide, I’ll share my Monaco vs. Barcelona prediction. Under coach Adi Hutter, Monaco have carried over their strong form from last season, starting with two wins and a draw, scoring four goals and conceding just one. They face a Barca side that already looks sharp under new coach Flick. Barcelona, five-time European champions, won all four La Liga games before the international break, including a 7-0 thrashing of Valladolid. Despite Monaco’s solid start, I expect Barca’s attacking prowess to secure a comfortable victory.

Prediction: 🏆AS Monaco 1 - 3 FC Barcelona ⚽

💯 Monaco vs Barcelona Betting Odds

Amongst the most popular bets that punters have on football matches are match winner bets, both teams to score bets and bets on the over/under markets.

Below, let’s look at these markets and the current Monaco vs Barcelona betting odds currently on offer for each one with some of the best betting sites available.

🏅 AS Monaco vs FC Barcelona: Winner Odds

In a match winner bet you must pick which side you think will win this game between Monaco and Barcelona. As the table shows Barcelona are favourites to go to Monaco and pick up the three points on offer and I think that’s fair given the relative status of each club and the start Barcelona have had to their new season.

Draw 3.80 3.75 3.79

⚽ AS Monaco vs FC Barcelona: BTTS Odds

I think Monaco will be able to cause problems to Barca’s rearguard during the match but not enough to seriously trouble Hansi Flick’s side after 90 minutes. I think Monaco will score at least once but at the other end I don’t see the Ligue 1 side being able to stop Barca’s forwards from finding the net on more than one occasion.

Yes 1.58 1.57 1.59
No 2.15 TBA 2.26

🥅 Monaco vs Barcelona Goals: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds

I think when you look at the attacking talent on show for both sides it’s easy to expect that there will be goals in this game, so I think it’s a fair bet to expect that there will be over 2.5 goals over the ninety minutes.

Over 2.5 Goals 1.59 1.61 1.61
Under 2.5 Goals 2.26 2.16 2.25

✔️ Monaco vs Barcelona Betting Tips

A free bets promotion is always a good way to have a bet on a football match so here are some Monaco vs Barcelona betting tips for you with some of the best betting sites around. Always make sure to read any terms and conditions that come with free bet promotions and offers, and to find out more about any of our recommended betting sites, take a look at our sportsbooks reviews page.

  • Tip 1 – Barcelona to Win: Barca have been in great form so far this season and I see it continuing against Monaco in the Champions League. Monaco have been solid so far winning two of their first three games, but Barcelona are a massive step up on what they face in Ligue 1 usually and I can’t see them leaving Monaco without all three points. If you want to bet on Barcelona Lunubet are currently offering odds of 1.75.
  • Tip 2 – Over 2.5 goals: I think Monaco will put up a decent fight against Barcelona and will score against the La Liga giants, but I don’t think they will be capable of stopping goals at their end, so I think betting on there being over 2.5 goals is a good bet. If you agree, Goldenbet are offering odds of 1.61 on there being over 2.5 goals.
  • Tip 3 – Barca to score first: As I have already said, I think Barca will win and continue the blistering start they have had to their new campaign. All the players look like they are really trying to impress the new boss and keep their place in his first eleven, so I would expect a fast start from Barca against Monaco on Thursday as they kick off their new Champions League campaign. Directionbet have odds of 1.52 on Barcelona scoring first in the match.

⚡AS Monaco vs FC Barcelona – Head to Head

AS Monaco Team Update

Monaco are in good form heading into their first Champions League games since the 2018/19 season. They sat fourth in the Ligue 1 table heading into the first international break of the year, registering 2 wins and a draw, and will be excited to kick off their first Champions League game after an absence of five years against one of the world’s biggest clubs.
