Paris Saint-Germain  host Montpellier on Saturday (27-1-2018) at the Parque de Princes at 6 pm in the 23rd round of the French Ligue 1

PSG had no problems in the cup this week beating Guingamp 4-2 and resting key players. The last time they played in Paris in the league they scored 8 goals against hapless Dijon and the Parisians will need a win at the weekend. Why? Because they lost to Lyon 2-1 in their last game and suddenly their lead at the top has been cut to 8 points.

Of course whilst PSG has stumbled away from home in the past few weeks, their home form is simply stunning where they won all 11 games. They average just under 4 goals per game and conceded 7 during the course.

Montpellier are comfortable in 7th place in the standings and undefeated since mid-December, going back 4 matches. They do have a very good away record as they lost none since the opening two trips of the season. That is an 8 match unbeaten run on the road, but their problem has been the amount of draws they accumulated in the process (5). If those away draws had been wins the club would have been on 41 points, which is a five point short off of European place.

The away side has the best conceded goals record in the league with just 6 all season although PSG are likely to test that. Besides, the visitors have scored only scored 8 times on the road this season.


HEAD TO HEAD

In 29 previous encounters between the sides, PSG have won 11, Montpellier have won six while 12 have been drawn.
