PSG over 2.5 goals comes in at +105 and is another intriguing bet for this contest. PSG have won just two of their last five games and are only three points clear of Lens at the top of the table with just over half the season gone. The side have allowed 40 goals so far this season, which means PSG’s star attacking trio of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi should have plenty of chances at finding the back of the net.

Montpellier may be able to squeak a goal in this game, but their poor record in the Stade de la Mosson will just result in the home team’s embarrassment. Romain Pitau’s squad is currently enjoying a five-point buffer over the relegation zone, but if they are going to show signs of progress, now is a perfect time, especially since PSG has shown signs of weakness in their form and class. PSG was geared to make a comeback after making a 7-0 demolition in the Coupe de France, where five goals were seen from Kylian Mbappe. The Parisians’ grip on securing the repeat of their domestic title is not yet secured, as they are just three points clear of RC Lens in second place and five points ahead of third-placers Marseille. One thing that is a sliver of hope for Montpellier is the recent show-off of ex-Arsenal product Stephy Mavididi, who logged his first and second goals of the Ligue 1 season during their recent trip to Auxerre. Montpellier is in 14th place in the Ligue 1 table, 28 points behind this contest’s opponents.
