Montpellier needed a late goal to achieve victory, but he will be worried about his defensive effort, especially as he will face an attack from Paris Saint-Germain that includes Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar. The visiting team's victory in their last match was their first in nine matches. They have lost the previous eight matches. Montpellier has been sad away from home as they lost their last seven games on the road. While Paris Saint-Germain dominated the Ligue 1 last season due to their group of stars and they will once again be the favorites to win the league title. They will count on their excellent record against Montpellier to lead them to another victory over them. We support Paris Saint-Germain in the lead at half-time and win the match.

As Montpellier becomes the first away team to oversee the Parc des Princes this season, they will face a team that looks hungry for more glory. The arrival of Christophe Galtier added a new boost to a team that at times seemed rudderless under Mauricio Pochettino. Lionel Messi and Neymar finally broke up and had a good relationship. The South American duo was heavily involved in the win over Claremont Foot and will be sure to continue their purple patch. Coincidentally, Galtier is the last coach to defeat the French giants at home in April 2021. Montpellier finished 13th in Ligue 1 last season and has a leaky defense to boot. If anything, on paper, that makes PSG the worst team they have faced at this point in the season. La Mousonne defeated Troyes on opening day but failed to keep a clean sheet at night.
