The reigning Ligue 1 champions started off this French topflight in a very impressive manner, defeating Le Havre scoring 1-4 on the road. Their front-line are still in shape despite their star striker Mbappe leaving the club. That win extended their unbeaten run to six games across all competitions.
PSG will play host to Montpellier in their second round of Ligue 1 match-ups on Friday and the guests started off this season with 1-1 draw against Strasbourg. Do also note that Montpellier was winless in eight of their last 10 matches. They have lost four of their last six matches and allowed 10 goals in that period.
Moving on, PSG has been the dominant force in the recent history of this match-up. They lost thrice in the past 25 clashes against Montpellier. PSG won the last eight clashes against Montpellier at this stadium in a row. Also, PSG has kept a clean sheet in four of the last five clashes against Montpellier at this venue while scoring 19.
Additionally, Montpellier is having an inconsistent away form at the moment, following a three-match winless streak. They lost the last two road trips in a row, but has scored in both which is noteworthy. By the looks of things, we expect a pleasant day for the local supporters at Parc des Princes on Friday.
PSG vs Montpellier Prediction
Since PSG have an upper hand in the tradition, we expect a comfortable win for them on Saturday against this Montpellier side. Four of the last five home matches of PSG had goals over 2.5 ft. Also, they have been scoring goals at an impressive rate of late. Thus, we expect an over 2.5 goals display in this match.
