Montpellier vs Paris SG Prediction & Betting tips
Paris Saint-Germain is not in good shape at the moment, but often the best comes up in the team from the French capital in the games against Montpellier. Can Montpellier take advantage of the mediocre series of Parisians this time?
Montpellier:
In the past two games, Montpellier registered victories against Toulouse and RC Strasbourg and therefore has a small chance of being placed for European football. The gap in fourth place is with five games to play for the team of Michel Der Zakarian eight points and therefore a win over the Parisians is needed to reach European football this season. With 37 goals in 33 matches, Montpellier is in fifth place in the Ligue 1 in terms of goals, but in terms of goals scored, the team from Der Zakarian can be found in eighth place, which means that despite the substantial investments in the attack line, les Héraults from last summer still fall short for a real top classification.
One of the gains for the attack, Andy Delort, who is being hired from Toulouse this season, had already reached thirteen hits and seven assists in 31 games and is thus in fourth place in the league table of the Ligue 1. Gaëtan Laborde, who came over from Girondins de Bordeaux last summer, also achieved double digits with ten goals and four assists, but behind Delort and Laborde there are few goalgetters in the selection of les Héraults. According to rumors, Montpellier would now have far-reaching interest in PhD candidate Nîmes Olympique’s Téji Savanier, who already gave eleven assists this season and also scored six times himself, making him the new pivot in midfield of les Héraults.
Paris Saint-Germain:
In the Coupe de la Ligue, Paris Saint-Germain lost ground early in the season against low-flyer En Avant Guingamp and also in the Champions League, Thomas Tuchel’s team was eliminated at an early stage, making the Coupe de France the last The cup tournament was that PSG could win this season. Despite a good start by goals from Dani Alves and the returned Neymar Jr. Stade Rennais was able to come back in the game within twenty minutes and there was 2-2 on the scoreboard after the regular playing time. The extension then did not score anymore, after which the Parisians, after a penalty shootout, lost their way through a missed penalty kick by Christopher Nkunku, who was brought into the field for the penalty shootout especially during the injury period of the second half of the extension.
Moreover, there was more bad news for the Parisians during and after the game against Stade Rennais, not least because star player Kylian Mbappé received a red card in the second half of the extension after a scandalous foul. Moreover, after the game Neymar also got into a blow with a fan and the Brazilian, who also got a suspension of three games in the Champions League last week, dealt a blow and most likely will have to answer for it to the disciplinary committee and the management of PSG.
