Montpellier vs PSG Betting Tips, H2H and Predictions

Saturday night’s action sees a clash in Ligue 1 between the division’s bottom side, Montpellier, and the champions, PSG.

The hosts, Montpellier, have had a disastrous season as they sit at the bottom of the top tier of French football. The 18th-placed team have been in terrible form, losing four out of their last five. On the other hand, PSG have been outstanding this season, winning Ligue 1. However, in recent games, the Parisians have been out of character, losing to Nice and Strasbourg.

As the game approaches, here is everything you need to know about the sides ahead of kick-off.

Key Stats

Team Preview, Form, and Standout Players

Struggling at the bottom of the table, there have not been many positives for Montpellier this season. With four losses in their last five, that is some of Montpellier’s smallest worries, as they have not won in their last 13 matches. The last time out was a 1-0 defeat to Brest.

Their opponents, PSG, have already been awarded French glory, as they sit 19 points above 2nd-placed Marseille. Despite beating Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League, Luis Enrique’s side have struggled in recent weeks, losing twice in their last five games. The last time out for PSG was a 2-1 loss against Strasbourg.

Ousmane Dembele will be one to watch in this fixture, the Frenchman having 21 goals and nine assists in 28 Ligue 1 appearances this season. Dembele also comes into this game on hot form, having netted once and assisted four times in his last five matches.

Montpellier Preview

Montpellier Predicted Lineup (5-4-1): Lecomte, Tchato, Meite, Omeragic, Davin, Sainte-Luce, Coulibaly, Nzingoula, Ferri, Fayad, Ndiaye.

Coming into this fixture, Montpellier will be without several players in this fixture - Christopher Jullien, Modibo Sagnan, Nicolas Pays, and Nikola Maksimovic are all out with injuries.

On the other hand, the 18th-placed side will also be without Andy Delort due to illness.

PSG Preview

PSG Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes, Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz, Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.

Unlike their opponents, PSG will have one absentee due to injury as Presnel Kimpembe will miss out due to a foot injury.

However, despite having a relatively fresh squad, they could be set to make several changes due to facing Arsenal in the Champions League.
