Montpellier vs Paris SG prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2022-05-13 22:00.
Although survival is already assured for Montpellier, their league form in 2022 has been akin to that of a relegation-threatened side (W3, D3, L11). Just one of the three victories during that time came at home, so a return to the Stade de la Mosson ā where Montpellier have lost the last three home H2Hs ā may not provide the much sought-after comforts of home.
Montpellier have also failed to win any of their last seven matches (D2, L5), leading coach Olivier DallāOglio to lament that āconfidence is no longer thereā, after their 2-1 loss to Clermont last time out. Reflecting this, āLa Pailladeā have failed to open the scoring in their last six home matches.
While Paris Saint-Germain may have long sealed the title, all is not necessarily well in their camp, with the future of coach Mauricio Pochettino remaining uncertain. This is also reflected on the field, as PSG have racked up three consecutive draws in Ligue 1 ā the last two of which saw them lead by two goals at a point, hinting at some unwanted complacency.
If the beach-bound PSG are to avoid a first run of four straight top-flight draws in a single campaign since January 2005, they would be well advised to start strongly. Thatās because the Parisians have failed to win any of the Ligue 1 away games in which theyāve failed to score before half-time this campaign (D4, L4).
Players to watch: Montpellier have gone on to win the seven Ligue 1 matches in which the talismanic Stephy Mavididi has found the net in 2021/22. In opposition, PSGās Kylian MbappĆ© will look to eclipse him here, as he has contributed to 15 goals (G10, A5) in ten personal H2Hs.
Hot stat: PSG have a 100% record (W7) when scoring first on the road in Ligue 1.
