Wednesday, at 20:00, PSG will receive a visit to Montpellier in a match for the 17th round of Ligue 1. The game will take place at the “Parc des Princes” stadium in Paris.
The temporary dismantling of the Neymar-Cavani-Mbappe offensive triple does not seem to affect the game or the results of the PSG at the moment. With the Kylian Mbappe as the spearhead, the Parisians go on a turn, assuring 90% qualification in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, while the championship is no longer an unresolved equation for Tuchel’s band . In other words, PSG remains strong offensive during this period, mainly due to the presence of Mbappe, but also of names such as Draxler or Di Maria.
On the other side, to the same extent that he has not lost seven stages, Montpellier has only one success in the last ten matches played in all competitions. This has seriously affected Der Zakarian’s hierarchy, which, although chuckling a good deal of time with the podium, now only occupies the 10th position in Ligue 1, going further than hoping for a European seat at the end of the season.
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, PSG imposed six times, Montpellier only once, while the other three duels ended in a draw;
The previous direct match took place in January last year, when the PSG imposed no emotion on the “Parc des Princes” score 4-0;
Montpellier’s last victory against Parisians dates back to December 2016, from a 3-0 on home ground;
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a spectacular hostile run. Moreover, taking advantage of the late Montpellier series of recent results, we believe Mbappe & Co. will take an important option to win this match from the first half, demonstrating its offensive effectiveness.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1,75
