Montpellier vs PSG Prediction & Betting Tips (17 March)

This season is quite delicate for Montpellier which still cannot settle in the first half of the championship table. Worse still, the MHSC has no time at all to relax at the end of the season since it is in 13th place in the ranking, with only one small point ahead of the jump-off at the start of this 26th. day and its maintenance is therefore still far from being achieved. Largely beaten at the Vélodrome by Marseille 4-1, Michel Der Zakarian's men were then able to snatch a point against RC Strasbourg 2-2. On the other hand, last week, they pulled off a great blow by beating a Nice team that had been suffering for a few days 1-2 to get out of the red zone. PSG, for its part, is heading straight towards a new title.

champion of France which should be acquired fairly quickly as he seems above the competition. Luis Enrique's men are 10 points ahead of their first competitor with 9 days to go before the end of the season. However, they have been progressing slowly lately in Ligue 1 with 3 draws conceded consecutively against Rennes 1-1, Monaco 0-0 and Reims 2-2 last weekend. The most important thing now seems elsewhere for the Ile-de-France residents who are still involved in the Champions League after dismissing Real Sociedad in the round of 16, winning 2-0 and 1-2. This week, the Parisians challenged Nice in the Coupe de France to reach the last four of the Doyenne and they achieved it without too much trouble 3-1.

If we put aside the young striker Gueguin (18 years old) who continues his convalescence and the midfielder Chotard who joined the infirmary in recent days, everyone should be on deck for this poster on the Hérault side. Sidelined during the last two days, defender Sacko returns to the group unlike former Niçois Sainte-Luce. Recently recruited defender Sagnan is back after being suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards. The team's top scorer Akor Adams could start on the bench, having not scored in Ligue 1 since the end of October. On the other hand, winger Nordin (5 goals), playmaker Savanier (6 goals, 5 assists) and Jordanian Al-Taamari (4 goals) are tipped to appear in Der Zakarian's 11. Luis Enrique still has to take into account the absences of goalkeeper Rico and defenders Marquinhos, Kimpembe and Skriniar to compose his group.

Midfielder Asensio is also absent this Sunday. The Spanish technician is quite unpredictable and he left Kylian Mbappé on the bench at the start of the last two days. The top scorer in Ligue 1 (21 goals) could also be a substitute this Sunday unlike Ousmane Dembélé and Randal Kolo Muani who could start up front. The Portuguese Gonçalo Ramos took advantage of his playing time to score his 6th goal of the season in Ligue 1 last Sunday.
