Match preview: Montpellier vs PSG
Montpellier and PSG clash at Stade de la Mosson for the 33rd round of Ligue 1. The last time they faced off in this edition of the league, Paris Saint-Germain secured a convincing 6-0 victory at home on 23 August 2024. Historically, the visiting team has the upper hand in direct encounters, boasting 4 wins and 1 draw over the last 5 matches. Indeed, their last meeting at this venue took place on 17 March 2024, where Paris Saint-Germain emerged victorious with a score of 6-2. The goals were netted by Teji Savanier (45′) and Arnaud Nordin (30′) for Montpellier, whilst Kylian Mbappé (63′, 22′, and 50′), Kang-in Lee (53′), Nuno Mendes (89′), and Vitinha (14′) scored for PSG. In this match, the home factor could play a pivotal role, as Montpellier has shown a significant disparity in their results at home compared to away performances.
Team analysis: Montpellier
The home team is currently in 18th place, having accumulated 16 points from 4 wins, 4 draws, and 23 losses. In their penultimate match, they managed a 0-0 draw at home against Reims. Their most recent fixture saw them suffer a 1-0 defeat away to Brest. Montpellier shows greater strength when playing at home, evidenced by their record of just 1 win and 14 losses in their last 30 away matches, compared to 3 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses at their own ground. Over their last 10 home matches in the league, Montpellier has secured 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses, collecting 9 points from a possible 30. Defensive solidity has not been a hallmark of their play, conceding goals in 9 of their past 10 matches, while their attack has been misfiring, failing to score in 8 of those games. Their home games are generally high-scoring, with 11 of their last 15 league matches ending with over 2.5 goals. Notably, this is a team that often struggles to score first: they managed to open the scoring in only 2 of their last 31 fixtures in Ligue 1. Of those 2 instances, they led at half-time in 1 and won in the end only once. Across 31 games, they have conceded first in 28 matches and only managed to turn the score around in 3 of those encounters.
Montpellier heads into this match unmotivated after a recent 1-0 defeat at Stade Brest. The team typically employs a 5-2-3 formation, focusing on offensive transitions and channeling their attacks through the flanks. Their attacking trio will consist of Tanguy Coulibaly, Wahbi Khazri, and Junior Ndiaye, with Téji Savanier tasked with dictating the offensive momentum. Missing from this fixture will be Khalil Fayad due to suspension, alongside Christopher Jullien, Nicolas Pays, Glenn Ngosso, and Nikola Maksimović, who are all nursing injuries.
Team analysis: PSG
The visitors currently sit at the top of the table, having amassed 78 points through 24 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses. In their penultimate match, they suffered a 1-3 defeat at home to Nice. Their last encounter ended in a 1-2 loss to Strasbourg away. This team is not significantly influenced by home advantage, having posted similar results both at home and away, as demonstrated by their last 30 matches which include 12 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses as visitors, scoring a total of 45 goals while conceding 15. At home, they have recorded 12 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, netting 38 goals and conceding 15. PSG arrives at this match following a home victory over Arsenal (2-1), securing their place in the Champions League final. In the league, PSG has earned 23 points from a possible 30, showing form with 7 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 10 away games. Their defensive stability has been inconsistent, with goals conceded in 9 of their last 10 matches, yet their attack has been prolific, scoring in each of their last 10 league matches. Away games tend to see plenty of goals, as 11 of their last 16 fixtures have ended with over 2.5 goals. This is a team that frequently scores first: they opened the scoring in 24 of their last 32 Ligue 1 games, reaching half-time ahead in 18 of those and maintaining the lead in 21. They have conceded the first goal in 7 matches but managed to overturn the score in 3 of these instances.
Paris Saint-Germain arrives at this encounter on the back of a 2-1 victory against Arsenal, advancing to the Champions League final. In their last league match, they lost 2-1 to Strasbourg. Nevertheless, the Parisians are likely to present their customary 4-3-3 formation, combining attacking flair with a solid midfield. Creativity from Kvaratskhelia, the presence of Gonçalo Ramos, and the irreverence of the forwards promise to pose significant challenges for the opposing defence. In midfield, Vitinha will orchestrate the play, showcasing elegance and intelligence. All players are available for this match.
