PSG vs Montpellier match preview

PSG will be hoping to cement their place at the top of the Ligue 1 table when they face Montpellier on Friday. The defending Ligue 1 champions are currently joint-top in the league with Lille after 20 games. Just days after witnessing his PSG team triumph in the Trophee des Champions for his first-ever piece of silverware, Mauricio Pochettino contracted coronavirus and was forced to miss the game against Angers. PSG emerged with a 1-0 away win but were far from their fluent best. 

Despite a relatively shaky season overall, PSG are now unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions and can stretch their winning streak to four games this week. The Parisians also boast the best attack and defence in the league. 

On the other hand, Montpellier have struggled this season and find themselves 11th in the Ligue 1 standings. Michel Der Zakarian's side is drifting further and further away from the European competition spots after their winless run stretched to six matches following a 3-2 defeat to Monaco on home turf last weekend.
