Prediction: Paris SG - Montpellier, Ligue 1

Details:

In the inverse leg of this game in December PSG won 3 to 1 . Now Montepellier is the guest and weaker(11th), while PSG got the lead after getting rid of the CHL distraction. No doubts, maximum stake.

PSG had a hard time breaking down Angers but were able to win 1-0 after Kurzawa decided with 20 minutes left to play. Not the best performance of the capital team but the victory meant that they took over the first place in Ligue 1. Now I do not think that PSG will leave that position more in the spring. Pochettino's squad is becoming more and more injury-free and here the Argentine can put a sharp eleven on his legs.

Montpellier fell 2-3 against Monaco and have only managed to win one of their last eight matches. Delort and Laborde are doing well at the top but backwards it is really leaking. Only three teams in the series have conceded more goals than Montpellier's 35. There is no further result before an away match against mighty PSG who will surely start with Mbappé and Neymar behind Icardi or Kean.

The last three meetings between the teams have ended with three victories for PSG to a total goal difference of 11-2. In each case, they have seized it, despite obstacles we can scarcely imagine. " The home team takes a clear victory again and - 2 is played with good hopes. Montpellier have shown they can score but their defence is likely to be severely tested in Paris.
