The Ligue 1 is back in action with another round of games this week. On Wednesday, Montpellier faces off against Christophe Galtier’s star-studded PSG team at the Stade de la Mosson in an important match.
Despite being 14th in the Ligue 1 standings, Montpellier has not performed at its best thus far this season. Over the weekend, the home team beat Auxerre comfortably by a score of 2-0, and they will have to work hard in this game to get the same result.
PSG, on the other hand, is currently at the top of the league, but they have been struggling in recent weeks. After being held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Reims in their previous match, the Parisian giants will need to rebound this week.

Montpellier vs PSG Prediction :
Prior to this match, Montpellier had problems with the Parisians, but they also have their own problems. PSG should be able to win this game because they appear to be the superior team.
PSG is currently in a slump and needs to work hard to keep its position at the top of the league table. Neymar and Lionel Messi, among others, have not yet found their stride following the World Cup, so they will need to perform better in this match.
Prediction: Montpellier 1-3 PSG

Montpellier vs PSG Team news :
Wahi and Khazri, Montpellier strikers, will serve the second of their two-game suspensions on Wednesday after being sent off in the team’s 3-0 loss to Nantes on January 15. This leaves Valere Germain to lead the charge with support from a resurgent Mavididi.
After their victory over Auxerre, La Paillade has no new problems to report, and midfielder Jordan Ferri should play again after missing that game with the flu. However, Pedro Mendes’ ability to recover from a hamstring injury in time for Wednesday remains to be seen.
Mamadou Sakho, a former PSG center-back, will likely have to settle for a spot on the bench against his former club because Pitau should not disrupt a winning formula. Regarding PSG, Galtier may consider bringing in Renato Sanches or Danilo Pereira as part of a midfield reshuffle given that Verratti will serve his suspension this week after getting sent off in the draw with Reims.
Both Nordi Mukiele and Presnel Kimpembe are still out of the game because of injuries, and Neymar is also out because of muscle fatigue. However, Nuno Mendes is back from his own muscle tissue. Keylor Navas, the team’s backup goalkeeper, was selected after Nottingham Forest’s deadline-day move fell through; however, Gianluigi Donnarumma’s starting position has never been in jeopardy this season.
