Montpellier Hsc v PSG Betting Tips [5 December 2020]

Paris Saint-Germain travel to Montpellier on Saturday for a Ligue 1 clash at Stade de la Mosson. PSG, the reigning champions, are top of the table with 25 points from 12 games. While they tend to leave title rivals in their dust early on in the campaign, PSG are being run close for now. Four teams are within two points of Thomas Tuchel's team, and one of them is Montpellier, who are fifth. Currently enjoying a four-match winning streak in the league, Montpellier have two shining stars orchestrating this current run. Algerian attacker Andy Delort has scored six goals in Ligue 1, and French midfielder Gaetan Laborde has made five assists. Montpellier have won four of their six home games in the league this season but have a problem with conceding goals. La Paillade are yet to keep a clean sheet on their turf. A recent run of two straight home defeats - including a 4-0 humiliation by Reims - was broken by a narrow 4-3 triumph over Strasbourg. PSG are a more challenging proposition than Strasbourg; Montpellier know this after losing four of their previous five meetings against the capital club. However, their home record offers encouragement going into this fixture. Montpellier are unbeaten in three of their last four home matches against PSG, winning twice.

PSG are coming off the back of an impressive 3-1 win at Manchester United in the Champions League. A failure to win their last two games in Ligue 1 shows their fallibility this season. However, Neymar, in particular, looked in superb form against United and we can see him helping his team get back to winning ways domestically. Back PSG to win and both teams to score.
