Paris Saint-Germain vs Montpellier Ligue 1 Betting Picks & Predictions
French champions Paris Saint-Germain will attempt to claim their fourth consecutive victory across all competitions when they host Montpellier at Parc des Princes. Our sportsbook offers the best markets and soccer betting odds in the French top-flight league. Read our preview and best soccer predictions.
PSG Has Rediscovered Its Mojo
Defending champions PSG have rediscovered their mojo of late and will be keen to secure all three points against Montpellier on Friday.
The current champions are in second place heading into Matchday 11, one point behind Nice at the summit. They’ll need to beat Montpellier and hope their rivals drop points to reach the top spot, but PSG’s form has shown improvement in recent weeks.
They cruised past AC Milan with a 3-0 win last week in the Champions League and have won four of their last five Ligue 1 matches, with Luis Enrique hopeful his side has turned a corner.
Recent signs suggest that the manager is finally getting his message across to his players, and we expect them to extend their brilliant run of form, so we will include them in our soccer picks today.
PSG defender Nuno Mendes and attacker Marco Asensio are ruled out due to hamstring and foot injuries, while goalkeeper Keylor Navas is unlikely to feature in the matchday squad after missing the win over Brest.
PSG will likely retain their 4-3-3 formation and start Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal. He should be protected by a back four of Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Milan Skriniar and Lucas Hernandez.
Montpellier Decent on the Road
Montpellier’s three-game unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 came to a halt last week when Nantes ran out comfortable 2-0 winners at Stade de la Beaujoire following the international pause. They immediately bounced back, beating Toulouse 3-0 in front of their fans.
After being deducted a point following crowd behavior during their home clash with Clermont Foot earlier in the month, Michel Der Zakarian’s men are now 11th in the Ligue 1 standings, only two points above the relegation zone.
Akor Adams has adapted quickly to life in the French top flight after catching the eye in Norway at Lillestrom last term, with the Nigerian currently leading his side’s goalscoring charts with seven strikes in nine league appearances, just three goals fewer than PSG’s Kylian Mbappe.
PSG Has Upper Hand on Montpellier
Paris Saint-Germain loves playing against Montpellier, and Ligue 1 betting fans have taken notice. They won each of their previous four Ligue 1 encounters, scoring at least two goals on each occasion and keeping two clean sheets.
Last season, PSG netted eight goals against Montpellier, conceding three. While PSG has not been in imperious form this season, they have lost just once, a 3-2 upset to high flyers Nice. The French giants scored 12 goals in five home games this term, while Montpellier netted nine in five road fixtures.

PSG vs Montpellier Betting Lines
Paris Saint-Germain vs Montpellier Betting Picks for Nov. 3
The hosts enter this clash as heavy favorites, priced at -345 on the three-way moneyline according to the latest soccer odds, while the goal line is set at 3½.
If Montpellier can hold the champions off early on, an upset is possible, but it’s highly unlikely. PSG is on fire, and it looks like nothing can stop them right now. They showed the strength of the team, the character that all the players have, and the quality under their new boss. They should be able to cover the spread on Friday and pick up the three points.
Questions Of The Day
Which PSG player is most likely to score vs Montpellier?
Once again, Kylian Mbappe, arguably France’s best player, is leading the goal charts with 10 goals netted in 10 rounds. He scored four goals in PSG’s last three games across all competitions and he’s favorite to find the back of the net on Sunday.
Which Montpellier player is most likely to provide an assist vs PSG?
Akor Adams is Montpellier’s top scorer, but midfielder Teji Savanier is their top assister with four of the offered this season, two of which came in the previous three Ligue 1 games, so he is the player to watch and bet on if you love your props.
