Match Context: PSG Aim for Dominance, Montpellier Seek an Upset
PSG kicks off their first home game of the season at Parc des Princes, following a hard-fought but essential win in their opening match.
PSG: Fine-Tuning Needed Despite a Strong Start Even after the departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid, PSG managed to secure a win in their first game. Gonçalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani are expected to fill the gap left by Mbappé, supported by the recent addition of Désiré Doué and potential new signings before the transfer window closes. Luis Enrique emphasizes a long-term project focused on young talent rather than established stars.
However, PSG's narrow victory over Le Havre highlighted some weaknesses that need addressing to ensure a successful season.
Montpellier: A Mountain to Climb at Parc des Princes Montpellier, on the other hand, had a lackluster start to the season, managing only a draw against Strasbourg. The challenge at Parc des Princes is daunting, especially considering Michel Der Zakarian’s team has failed to beat PSG in their last 11 encounters.
A Lopsided Contest with High Stakes Recent history heavily favors PSG, who have dominated Montpellier in their last ten Ligue 1 meetings. Nevertheless, Montpellier could spring a surprise by capitalizing on any Parisian lapses and delivering a solid defensive performance.
Probable Lineups for PSG vs Montpellier
- PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Beraldo, Pacho, Zague; Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Neves; Kang-in Lee, Asensio, Kolo Muani.
- Montpellier: Lecomte; Mbiayi, Omeragic, Sagnan, Sacko; Chotard, Ferri, Savanier; Nordin, Al-Taamari, Adams.

Bet 3 - Both Teams to Score : Despite their offensive prowess, PSG's defense has shown vulnerabilities, giving Montpellier a good chance to score at least one goal.
