| 3-1 | 10/1 |  |
Paris Saint-Germain have been in a scintillating form, securing four consecutive victories across all competitions. Their latest triumph saw them fend off a late resurgence from Brest, ultimately winning 3-2. Notably, the standout moment was PSG wonderkid Warren Zaire-Emery’s spectacular opening goal, followed by Kylian Mbappe’s clinical finish. Despite Brest’s resilience, PSG emerged victorious.
PSG’s impressive run includes notable victories over AC Milan, Strasbourg, and Rennes, with the champions consistently scoring three goals in each of these encounters. While they have exhibited vulnerability at times, they have been rock solid in front of their home crowd, keeping clean sheets in their last four home fixtures and scoring at least twice in their previous six matches.
Montpellier, on the other hand, faced adversity recently due to off-field distractions, including sanctions stemming from an incident during their clash with Clermont. Nevertheless, they overcame these issues to secure a 3-0 victory against Toulouse, with Nigerian striker Akor Adams leading the charge. Montpellier currently sits 11th in the league standings with a record of three wins, three draws, and three defeats.

The historical head-to-head statistics heavily favour PSG, who have dominated Montpellier in their last nine meetings across all competitions. The champions have consistently found the net against Montpellier, with the last goalless draw occurring in September 2017.
PSG faced defensive lapses in their last match against Brest, partly due to the absence of Marquinhos, who was sidelined with a groin injury. However, there is optimism that Marquinhos may return to bolster their defence for this fixture. Several other players, including Nuno Mendes, Marco Asensio, Sergio Rico, Presnel Kimpembe, and Keylor Navas, are unavailable. Left-back Layvin Kurzawa missed out last weekend due to illness, adding to Enrique’s selection challenges.
For Montpellier, Joris Chotard, who was substituted during the win over Toulouse due to muscular pain, is expected to return to the lineup. Maxime Esteve, who suffered calf cramps in the last match, should also recover, while Becir Omeragic may make a swift return. Arnaud Nordin is the only notable absentee with a hamstring injury.
Paris Saint-Germain: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez; Lee, Ugarte, Zaire-Emery; Dembele, Kolo Muani, Mbappe
Montpellier HSC: Lecomte; Sacko, Kouyate, Esteve, Sylla; Chotard, Ferri; Al-Tamari, Savanier, Fayad; Adams
In this highly-anticipated clash, PSG’s offensive prowess is expected to prevail over Montpellier’s defensive resilience. The hosts, in their quest to claim the top spot in the league, will likely secure a 3-1 victory, extending their impressive run of form at home. While Montpellier’s in-form striker, Adams, poses a threat, PSG’s dynamic forwards are likely to shine in front of their fervent supporters.
Prediction: PSG 3-1 Montpellier
