Montpellier

LLLLDL ⚠

Montpellier will be hoping to bounce back here following a 1-0 Ligue 1 losing effort in their last game against Brest.

In that match, Montpellier managed 36% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 1 on target. For their opponents, Brest had 16 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Romain Del Castillo (15') was the scorer for Brest.

An interesting theme in more recent Montpellier games is the number of results with a nil in them.

From their prior sextet of matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would have lost.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Montpellier:

• have not registered a win against Paris Saint-Germain in their last 11 league games.
• are without a win at home for the past 6 league matches. That's never good.

Paris Saint-Germain

WDLWLW

PSG will go into this encounter following a 2-1 Champions League win versus Arsenal in their previous fixture.

In that match, Paris Saint-Germain managed 46% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. For Paris Saint-Germain, the scorers were Fabián Ruiz (27') and Achraf Hakimi (72'). Arsenal had 19 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Bukayo Saka (76') was the scorer for Arsenal.

Over the course of their last 6 clashes, Paris Saint-Germain have amassed a total of 8 goals. Paris Saint-Germain have also not failed to score in every single one of those games. Over that period, their defenders have seen 10 goals go into their own net. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be sustained into this game, however.

Their previous form shows that Paris Saint-Germain:

• remain unbeaten by Montpellier when they have played them away from home in the previous 5 matches in the league. A very decent away record against them.
• have not won away from home in their last 2 league games.

📋 Team News: Montpellier

Christopher Jullien (Cruciate ligament tear), Modibo Sagnan (Dead leg), Nicolas Pays (Metatarsal fracture), Glenn Ngosso (Cruciate ligament tear) and Nikola Maksimović (Hamstring injury) are unavailable for Montpellier gaffer Zoumana Camara.

It’s our opinion that La Paillade will possibly employ a 3-2-4-1 system for this game featuring Benjamin Lecomte, Yael Mouanga, Becir Omeragic, L. Mincarelli Davin, Enzo Tchato, Theo Sainte-Luce, Tanguy Coulibaly, Rabby Nzingoula, Jordan Ferri, Khalil Fayad and Junior Ndiaye.

ℹ️ Team News: PSG

It’s our belief that Les Rouge-et-Bleu might utilise a 4-3-3 lineup, starting Matvey Safonov, Yoram Zague, Noham Kamara, Lucas Beraldo, Lucas Hernandez, Kang-In Lee, Warren Zaire-Emery, Senny Mayulu, Ibrahim Mbaye, Goncalo Ramos and Desire Doue.

⚡ Prediction

Our pre-match assessment is that Paris Saint-Germain can create a good amount of chances and successful shots on target.

At the same time, Montpellier could well find it tough getting goals, although we do see them getting the chances to score, too.

We’re therefore expecting to see a comfortable 1-3 win for Paris Saint-Germain when the full-time whistle blows.
