Preview: Paris Saint-Germain vs. Montpellier HSC – prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole presents a preview of the Ligue 1 clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Montpellier HSC on Friday, including predictions, team news, and possible lineups. PSG will be aiming for a fifth consecutive victory in all competitions when they face Montpellier at the Parc des Princes. In their previous match, PSG defeated Brest 3-2, while Montpellier secured a 3-0 win against Toulouse. PSG’s resident wonderkid, Warren Zaire-Emery, opened the scoring in their last game with a powerful strike, followed by a goal from Kylian Mbappe. However, Brest managed to equalize before Mbappe secured the win with a late goal. PSG’s victories over AC Milan, Strasbourg, and Rennes have also seen them score three goals in each match. Under the management of Luis Enrique, PSG is currently in second place in the Ligue 1 table, just one point behind Nice. They have a goal difference of +14, the best in the league. PSG has been strong at home, winning their last four home games without conceding a goal and scoring at least twice in their last six home matches. Montpellier, on the other hand, recently faced severe sanctions after an incident involving a firecracker being thrown at their goalkeeper. However, they managed to secure a 3-0 victory against Toulouse. Montpellier is currently in 11th place in the league and has won two of their last seven matches. In their head-to-head encounters, PSG has won their last nine meetings against Montpellier in all competitions. They have also scored more than one goal in each match except for a goalless draw in 2017. PSG’s Marquinhos could return to the lineup after missing their last game due to injury. Montpellier’s Joris Chotard is expected to play despite suffering from muscular pain in their previous match. We predict a 3-1 victory for PSG, with both teams managing to find the back of the net.
