Montpellier Team News
The home team is currently significantly closer to the relegation zone than the fight for survival. Montpellier recorded 6 wins, 2 draws, and even 12 losses in 20 games, which was enough for the 14th position in the table. Before this match, Montpellier has only 5 points more than the first team “below the line,” so a serious fight is yet to come.
The players of the home team scored 30 and conceded 40 goals in 20 games, so Montepllier is the second most efficient team in the league, with an average of 3.5 goals per game. Defense is the weakest segment of their game, and they will have to fix it as soon as possible because it is difficult to expect any success with an average of 2 goals conceded per game.
At home, they have not won in the last 5 matches, which is not a promising fact before the duel with the main candidate for the title. Knowing their game system without many calculations, we expect the home team to attack frontally in this game, which in their case, can be a double-edged sword.
PSG Team News
If we look at PSG’s recent results, we can safely say that the team from Paris is unrecognizable after the winter break. In the continuation of the championship, PSG played 5 games in which they won only 7 points. Especially painful was the defeat against the direct competitor for the title Lens, who was very convincing at home with 3:1.
Even defeats are not a problem, as much as it is the fact that the PSG team looks terrible on the field for too long. We must say that they are fortunate that Lens did not punish their bad form, so only thanks to the failure of Lens in the last round, the difference between these two teams is still 3 points.
Another thing that should worry coach Galtier is that his team has not won in the last 2 away games, and without points away from home, it will be difficult for PSG to win the title. Also, it’s time for the team from Paris to “make up” to the fans for the draw from the last round at home against Reims.
Montpellier vs PSG H2H
In the first part of the championship, PSG was convincing at home 5:0. By the way, PSG traditionally triumphs very easily against Montpellier, and we must mention the fact that the team from Paris did not concede in the last 4 matches between them in Ligue 1.
Injuries and suspensions
Montpellier: Bertaud, Khazri, Meneds, Sainte-Luce, Wahi.
PSG: Kimpembe, Mendes, Neymar, Mukiele, Verrati.
Montpellier vs PSG Prediction
PSG has only 3 points more than Lens, and if they continue with poor results, there is little chance that the title will stay in Paris. Although they are in crisis, the visitors need shock therapy, especially after a series of matches in which they appeared pale and unconvincing on the field. Perhaps the worst match this season was played by PSG in the last round against Reims. Then Reims deserved a 3:0 victory considering their commitment and sacrifice. If they want another title, such failures must not happen again in the rest of the season.
The match against Montpellier is an excellent opportunity to start a new streak of victories, considering that the home team does not pay too much attention to the defense, which the average of 2 goals conceded per match shows best. It’s time for the team from Paris to show how dangerous they can be.
