PSG vs Montpellier Hsc Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by James | in Ligue 1 Predictions
Paris Saint-Germain host Montpellier in Ligue 1 action this weekend. The reigning champions are, as everyone would expect, top of the leaderboard, way out in front, a solid ten points ahead of nearest challengers Marseille. They enter the game off the back of an assured 2-0 win at Lille. Despite having the best home record in the division, Lille were comprehensively beaten. For what good is the best home record when your opponents have Neymar? Not very good this time, the Brazilian forward scoring both goals. It was the latest MOTM performance in a campaign that has reminded everyone why he's still the top dog in the division. As ever, he will be the most dangerous man on the field this Saturday.
Not that Montpellier need a scouting profile on someone they regard as a familiar nemesis. Neymar has scored three goals in three appearances against them since his move to PSG in 2017. The visitors have not won any of their last six matches at the Parc de Princes and were thumped 5-1 when they last showed up to the venue. While Montpellier are having a good season - they're fourth in the table after a three-game winning streak - their away form is poor. They have only managed to win one of their ten games away from home this season, meaning 76% of their points have been earned at the Stade de la Mosson. It is a lot to expect of them to stop a PSG side that has scored at least two goals in their last six home matches. Frankly, we expect the opposite. Back PSG to win the game at half-time and full-time.

Our PSG vs Montpellier Hsc Prediction
We don't envy the defenders tasked with stopping Neymar on his current streak. Usually able to stay in first gear and still dominate, the forward has looked more determined since returning from injury this season. Montpellier are unlikely to have an answer to the challenges he poses. That's why you should back the home side to win both halves.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
