Montpellier started their season with a victory but has since faced challenges, losing eight of their subsequent ten Ligue 1 matches. In contrast, PSG has been in formidable form, securing 13 wins from their last 20 home games, positioning them well to challenge the league’s current bottom team.
Recent games for PSG have been high-scoring affairs, with the last six Ligue 1 matches yielding at least two goals. Similarly, Montpellier’s away games have often surpassed 2.5 goals, with eight of their last ten matches falling into this category, suggesting an action-packed encounter is likely when these two teams meet.
PSG has a notable streak of 11 Ligue 1 games where they scored and also conceded goals within the same match. Montpellier has shown a similar trend, with both teams scoring in five of their last six matches, indicating that defenses might not hold up in the upcoming match.
PSG’s home performance has been particularly impressive, with 17 wins from their last 21 league matches at home, where they’ve overwhelmingly outscored opponents 54 to five. Conversely, Montpellier has found away games challenging, securing only one win in their last nine league outings.
Prediction: PSG 3 : 1 Montpellier
