Montpellier Preview: Struggling Montpellier

Montpellier Herault have circling the drain in Ligue 1 for a while and they will now definitely be playing Ligue 2 football next season with just four victories in 32 matches thus far and just 16 points collected and only 22 goals scored in those 32 games.

The home team come into this one on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Stade Brest at Stade Francis-Le Ble last weekend due to a 15th minute goal scored by Romain Del Castillo. That means they have collected just one point from their last 13 matches in Ligue 1.

Paris Saint-Germain Preview: Parisien dominance

In midweek, Paris Saint-Germain further enhanced their chances of winning the treble this season as they defeated Arsenal by two goals to one at Parc des Princes to complete a 3-1 aggregate victory over the Gunners in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

Luis Enrique’s Parisiens now have the UEFA Champions League final against Internazionale and the Coupe de France final against Stade de Reims later this month. They have already wrapped up the French title and have very much taken their foot off the gas in that competition.

Montpellier vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction

Montpellier Herault have endured a difficult campaign throughout the season but it has arguably got even worse in the last few weeks with a lot of work to do over the summer to challenge again next year. They now face a Paris Saint-Germain side that head to Montpellier having already now lost a couple of times of late to end their chances of becoming the first ever French side to go unbeaten through a Ligue 1 campaign. However, even with distractions and a lack of motivation, PSG should still win this comfortably.
