Montpellier, Recent FormMontpellier will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their away fixture against Nice. Their share of possession in that meeting was 35%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Nice, who had 19 shots on goal with 5 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Michel Der Zakarian will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 home games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. They've had an unusually high number of draws when playing at home this season, with 8 draws in 13 home league games.
Téji Savanier will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Montpellier.
Paris Saint-Germain, Recent FormParis Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Reims. They came away from that fixture with a 64% share of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Reims, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
Enrique will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. Away from home, they are currenlty on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets, and they've scored in 22 of their 25 games overall this season.
There will be mixed feelings from Les Rouge et Bleu, while they've been undefeated in their last 20 league games, they've only manage a drawn in 3 of them.
On an individual basis, Kylian Mbappé will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 21 goals in Paris Saint-Germain's 25 league games this season.
A defeat for Montpellier in their last match against Paris Saint-Germain was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 3 goals.
The Montpellier defence has struggled against Les Rouge et Bleu in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 12 games. PSG have a decent scoring record against La Paillade in recent times, having hit the back of the net 17 times in the last 5 matches between the two.
Undefeated in their last 9 league encounters against Montpellier, PSG have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning the last 9 times in a row.
PSG player Kylian Mbappé will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Montpellier, having scored 4 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
With no real injury worries, Montpellier manager Michel Der Zakarian will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Luis Enrique has a number of injury concerns in his PSG squad to contend with: Marco Asensio (Hamstring), Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles tendon), Layvin Kurzawa (Back), Marcos Marquinhos (Achilles tendon), Sergio Rico (Head) and Milan Škriniar (Ankle)
