Paris Saint Germain had a great night out at Old Trafford and this weekend they will shift focus to Ligue 1 where they play away to Montpellier on Saturday. Hosts Montpellier have so far garnered 23 points and head to this clash placed fifth while table toppers PSG have 25 points. Montpellier are among the sides with the best runs in the recent matches in Ligue 1 and will hope they can end their poor run against PSG, having won just one of the last seven meetings. They head to this game on the back of four straight wins and three clean sheets in the four matches. In their last match, they had Petar Skuletic to thank for his late goal as they beat Lorient 1-0, their seventh win of the 12 matches played this season. They have scored in 10 of the 12 league matches they’ve played this season and six of the 12 have produced over 2.5 goals, with Montpellier scoring two or more in half of the 12. However, their recent rise is dented by the fact they have lost two of their last three home matches in the league and have no clean sheet in six home matches, while they have failed to score in two.

PSG, on the other hand, have found their rhythm after a slow start to the season and head here on three wins in their last five matches across all competitions. They had a wonderful night in England on Wednesday, beating Manchester United 3-1 in the Champions League and will hope to carry that to this league fixture. With just two clean sheets in their last six matches, however, they will have more to do against this Montpellier side. PSG have also conceded two or more goals in three of their last six matches and have conceded five goals in just two league matches ahead of this. They have ticked well upfront though, scoring in 15 straight matches and netting two or more goals in seven of the last 10. Their matches have been high scoring and heading here, eight of the last 10 have produced over 2.5 goals. PSG’s dominance in Ligue 1 is well highlighted by the fact they have scored two or more goals in nine straight league games, while they have four wins in the last six away league games.
