Paris Saint Germain vs Montpellier Prediction: Kylian Mbappe can't stop scoring!

The Ligue 1 continues this weekend and Paris Saint Germain will lock horns with Montpellier for the 11th game of the season. PSG will be hoping to step into the top spot on the table, as they trail Nice by a single point, and a win will see them sit at the top, 2 points ahead of Nice. Montpellier find themselves in 11th spot with 11 points in total. Their position looks under threat at the moment as they are on the same point as Toulouse, Le Havre and Strasbourg below them. A win here looks almost impossible, so the team will hope they can keep PSG out and pull off a draw to save them from dropping down the table.

Paris Saint Germain will be playing their 11th match of the season and hoping to get another win and secure their top spot. They have dropped points already this season, as they drew 3 of their 10 matches and also lost 1. Although they are expected to be champions at the end of the season, they will not be willing to take any chances as it almost cost them the title last season.

PSG are in fine form at the moment, winning 4 of their last 5 league games. They beat Stade Brest 3-2 in their last game away from home. Warren Zaire-Emery and Kylian Mbappe were on the scoresheet in that game, with Kylian Mbappe scoring a brace and Warren scoring once.

And at home, PSG have not been as excellent as they would have hoped. They won 3, drew 1 and lost 1 of their 5 home games this season. But they are considered huge favorites to come out on top in this clash.

The head-to-head record also indicates PSG are a dominant side as they have not lost to Montpellier since April 2019.

Montpellier looks like they are heading down the table because their chances of winning against PSG at the Parc de Princes is very little. At the moment, they are 11th on the table with 11 points from 10 games. Their last game against Toulouse ended in a 3-0 win at home and they hope to carry on that form into this game. Akor Adams was on target twice and Khalil Fayad scored once in the game against Toulouse.

Montpellier have won 2 of their last 5 league games and they drew 2 and lost 1. This is not bad for a team of their quality but they can do better. They also won 2 of their last 5 away games, with the other 3 ending in 2 draws and 1 defeat. They played their last away game against Nantes and they lost 2-nil.

Montpellier have lost their last 4 meetings against PSG and they lost 3-1 in their most recent meeting, last season. Their record also shows the last time they beat PSG at the Parc de Princes was back in January 2014. Since then, PSG has beaten them 7 times at the Parc de Princes. From all indications, Montpellier are coming into this game as underdogs.

PSG dominate the head-to-head records with 15 wins from 20 matches against Montpellier. While Montpellier won 2 games and 3 games ended in a draw.

PSG were almost going to pull off another disappointing match against Brest last week but they found a way to win the game 3-2. PSG are a top team no doubt, but they can be quite below par sometimes and one might wonder if this match will be another case of a PSG disasterclass.

The records and statistics show that PSG should grab a very comfortable win in this game. Montpellier have no tricks up their sleeves and this game will depend on how PSG play. One man that can't stop scoring is Kylian Mbappe. Back him to find the back of the net once again in this match.
