PSG might have struggled for form at times this season, but they remain the best French side, without a doubt. And they will be looking to cut loose of the chasing pack in their bid to secure a fourth successive league title.

The last time these sides faced off, Montpellier were arguably the most in-form side in the league, following a run of four straight league wins, and were in contention for the European places. La Pallaide have dropped off since then, and one win in seven Ligue 1 matches has seen them drop down the standings to occupy a mid-table position.

Paris SG vs Montpellier Team News

Mauricio Pochettino’s start to life as PSG boss continued as his side stumbled to an unconvincing 0-1 win away at Angers in their latest league outing. The Parisians dominated possession for most of the night, but were only able to break the deadlock midway through the second half via a Layvin Kurzawa strike.

As expected, PSG sit atop the Ligue 1 standings with 42 points from their opening 20 fixtures, but it is worth noting that they are tied on points with Lille in second, and only two points above Lyon in third. The Parisians have proven to be untouchable in recent weeks, and have won four of their last six league matches.

Last time out in Ligue 1, Montpellier’s woeful form continued as they suffered a 2-3 defeat at home to Monaco. La Pallaide were three goals down after sixty minutes, but two quick fire goals from Elye Wahi and Andy Delort sparked hopes of a comeback.
However, Monaco would hold on to secure all three points on the night, and consign Montpellier to their eighth defeat of the league season.
Montpellier are winless in six league matches, with four defeats and two draws, and this in turn, has seen them fall down the standings to be currently placed eleventh, with 28 points from 20 matches.

Montpellier’s abysmal form can be attributed to their defensive frailties, with ten goals conceded in their last four matches. And coming up against a PSG averaging well over two goals per game this season, we could be set for a goal fest.

It is also worth noting that PSG are yet to concede a second half goal in their last nine Ligue 1 matches, and they boast the best home league record this season. Montpellier have been decent when playing on the road this term (four wins and three draws in nine away games isn’t bad by any standards). But PSG might prove a level too much for them to handle.

Injured or Suspended Players

Paris SG: Juan Bernat, Thilo Kehrer, Colin Dagba, Alexandre Letellier and Layvin Kurzawa.

Paris SG vs Montpellier Predictions

PSG look unbeatable at the moment, and they are red-hot favurites to secure a win against a Montpellier side that can’t seem to get a win from anywhere. Montpellier’s leaky defence, compared to PSG’S attacking prowess suggest lots of goals in this encounter, hence that market is worth looking into. Our tip? Another PSG home win by at least, a two-goal margin.
