Montpellier Team News

Last Friday, Montpellier traveled to face Nice. The home team was considered the favorite in that game, but the course of that match was changed in the 10th minute when Jean-Clair Todibio scored an own goal. Two minutes later, the Nice players equalized and continued pressing the Montpellier defense. Toward the end of the first part of the game, the referee awarded a penalty to the guests, and Montpellier led by 2:2. In the second part, we saw the solid defense of the guests and the weakness of Nice’s attack.

Those three points helped them stabilize a bit and rise above the teams at the bottom of the table and fear relegation. Montpellier has 26 points, but that’s only one more than Nantes, who are in 16th place.

Earlier, Montpellier players played a good match against Strasbourg at home. The result at the end was 2:2. Montpellier’s attackers twice took the lead of the opponent, had several more good chances to win, but did not crown their supremacy in the middle of the field with additional goals. They lost the week before against Marseille 4:1, beat Metz 3:0, and lost at home to Lyon 2:1.

PSG Team News

For now, PSG holds the first place in the French League 1. They have 56 points, which is ten more than Brest. They seem to have fallen into a crisis in the last few weeks because they have played three drawn matches in a row. They drew 2:2 with Reims at home. In the 19th minute, they already had a 2:1 lead and continued fiercely attacking Reim’s goal but were unlucky. Towards the end of the first half, Oumar Diakite scored the equalizer for Reims. After that, we saw a solid defense by the guests and several good chances by PSG in front of their goal, but no goals.

There was also a draw in the away match against Monaco. The score ended up being 0:0 as PSG failed to convert their dominant 65% ball possession into quality scoring opportunities. At home, they played 1:1 against Rennes in another game where they were better, but without effect.

In the interim, PSG advanced to the next stage of the Champions League after two victories over Real Sociedad. The first time, it was 2:0, and the second time, it was 2:1. Obviously, PSG plays powerfully in the European competition, but it does not show that violence in the domestic competition. It’s slightly different in the French Cup, where they beat Nice 3:1 last Wednesday. PSG scores an average of 2.5 goals per match and has the second-best defense in the league, right after Brest. PSG conceded 21 goals in 25 games.

Montpellier vs PSG Prediction

PSG is a class better team than Montpellier in both last season and this season. They were dominant in the first phase of the Champions League and put all their best cards on that front. This did not prevent them from securing first place in the French League 1, in which they have had only one defeat. They have a solid defense and an effective attack.

Along with eight teams in League 1, Montpellier is on the verge of relegation. Who among them will eventually take possession of the three places today no one can predict. Nevertheless, Montpellier leaves the impression of a team that can fight. They beat the better Nice away last time and will not be an easy opponent for anyone until the end of the competition.

PSG is the favorite in this match, and considering the effectiveness of both teams recently, we expect at least three goals.
