Montpellier vs PSG Prediction

Montpellier must be careful as they are close to the relegation zone. The fact that they have lost 40% of their games makes the situation worse. The difference in quality that both teams possess is of a huge magnitude.

Given PSG’s current form, they seem to be on the front foot. They won five games in a row against this team. Montpellier’s case is different as they are vulnerable at the back as they conceded six goals against Marseille and Strasbourg. Considering these factors, we see PSG winning both halves of this match at the 2.16 odds.

PSG have made significant improvements in their offensive setup this month. They scored seven goals combined in their last three games against Nice, Reims, and Real Sociedad. Even the H2H records tell us that this fixture has been a high-scoring one in the last three years. Therefore, Over 3.5 goals at the 2.39 odds is surely a good tip for all punters.

We cannot ignore Kylian Mbappe’s immersive contribution to PSG this season. The reason why PSG have a GF of 56 is because of Mbappe’s stellar performance on the pitch. Many of you are already aware that he is the top-scorer for PSG this season. In his last appearance, he scored the opening goal against Nice. Therefore, we will back Kylian Mbappe to score anytime at the 1.80 odds.
