PSG is not convincing
PSG managed to sneak back to the lead with a better goal difference than Lille and with the help of the loss of Lyon. The problem, however, is that they themselves made a very weak match at a minimum of 1-0 away from Angers.
Montpellier is in the black series
Montpellier are definitely in crisis and already have 6 games without a win. As their last loss to Monaco by 2-3 was also accompanied by a very weak game.
As these 2 hits were a big bonus from the opponent rather than their merit. They are already 11th in the standings in League 1, 8 points from the 5th position. But they have a full squad for this meeting.
Forecast for PSG – Montpellier
My idea for this match is that although PSG are the favorites, they are not very convincing. On the other hand, Montpellier is clear that they will only bet on defense. There is a lot of transfer speculation about both Neymar and Killian Mbape.
The Frenchman himself, for example, has openly stated that he is looking for change. And the technical director of PSG commented that he would be happy for Neymar and Mbape to stay. But not at any cost and will not beg them.
Real Madrid had already offered £ 200 million for the Frenchman.
All this undoubtedly has a negative impact on the concentration of players.
The probability that Montpellier will not concede a goal in this match for a long time is high compared to the proposed odds.
