PSG take on the visitors Montpellier in the round 11 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, November 3rd at Parc des Princes (Paris).
After a somewhat shaky start in Ligue 1, the reigning champions of France have regained their composure and are making few mistakes in the national championship. In four out of the last five rounds, Parisians have defeated their opponents, and in each of these four victories, they scored over 2.5 goals: against Rennes (3-1), Brest (3-2), Strasbourg (3-0), and Marseille (4-0). Let's also remember two similar wins in August and September: against Lens (3-1) and Lyon (4-1). It's safe to assume that they will handle Montpellier at the Parc des Princes, and the audience will witness at least three goals shared between them. As experience shows, the hosts can even score three goals on their own.

However, Montpellier are more than capable of responding with at least one accurate shot. After a less than ideal start, especially in October, the Paladins are now in decent form. They did lose away to Nantes (0-2), but they celebrated victories in the other three La Liga matches, and in all three cases, they went over 2.5 goals: against Toulouse (3-0), Lorient (3-0), and Clermont (4-2). At the moment, Michel Der Zakarian's charges are in the middle of the championship table. In addition to the mentioned wins over 2.5 goals, Montpellier also had a victory over Lyon (4-1). But they have also lost, conceding three or more goals in a match. For instance, to Reims (1-3).
So, what do we have in the end? Both teams have been strong in attack recently. Overall this season, they have performed well in terms of goal-scoring, with the hosts scoring 23 goals in 10 rounds and the visitors scoring 19. Expecting three goals in this match is entirely logical, given that both teams have played over 2.5 goals in seven of their league matches. As for the outcome, it's unlikely that anyone will argue about the favorite in this match. Parisians clearly outclass their opponent, and they are capable of achieving the necessary total goals on their own. This has happened in their three recent meetings with Montpellier, with scores of 0-4, 2-5, and 1-3. I believe that Parisians won't share points with their opponents this time either. Prediction: PSG to win and over 2.5 goals (P1+T2.5).
Prediction for the match: PSG to win and Over 2.5 scored goals.
