Last season, PSG defeated Montpellier twice – 6-2 away and 3-0 at home. PSG has won 10 consecutive Ligue 1 matches against Montpellier. Montpellier has not beaten PSG since 2019.

PSG 

PSG are the champions of France. As expected, Luis Enrique’s team won their 12th title in the club’s history. PSG collected 76 points, finishing 9 points ahead of Monaco. Throughout the season, PSG suffered only 2 defeats but drew 10 times. In any case, no team had a chance of surpassing PSG.

Over the summer, PSG lost their leader and main star – Kylian Mbappé. The French striker fulfilled his dream and, as a free agent, moved to Real Madrid. However, Paris Saint-Germain strengthened their squad with super talent Désiré Doué from Rennes, center-back Willian Pacho from Eintracht, and the major signing of central midfielder João Neves from Benfica for €60 million.

In the opening match of the season, PSG played away against Le Havre and secured a 4-1 victory. New signing João Neves provided 2 assists, while goals were scored by Bradley Barcola, Lee Kang-in, Ousmane Dembélé, and Randal Kolo Muani.

Montpellier

Montpellier is a mid-table team in Ligue 1. Last season, it initially seemed that the “Palladins” would be fighting relegation, but in the second half of the season, Montpellier started playing more consistently and finished in 12th place, 12 points clear of the relegation zone. It’s unlikely that Montpellier could have achieved more, so this result can definitely be considered good. It’s quite logical that head coach Michel Der Zakarian retained his position.

Over the summer, Montpellier was very passive in the transfer market. The club did not sell any of its key players and did not make any incoming transfers.

In the first round of Ligue 1, Montpellier drew 1-1 at home against Strasbourg. Der Zakarian’s team conceded first in the 58th minute, but nine minutes later, Téji Savanier scored a penalty to save the team from defeat.

Prediction

It’s clear that PSG is the favorite for the upcoming match. The Parisians are of a higher class, and in the first round, they scored four goals against Le Havre, though they conceded one. Montpellier is a solid mid-table team in Ligue 1, which also managed to score in the first round. We believe that the hosts will be able to delight their fans with another victory, and the match will likely see a classic "over" outcome.

Our prediction for the match is PSG to win + over 2.5 goals, with odds of 1.75.

Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.75.
