PSG vs Montpellier Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Ligue 1 2024-25

Les Parisiens registered a dominating win on the opening weekend. 

PSG have started the new season in outstanding form. They secured an impressive 4-1 victory over Le Havre to open the new season on a positive note. Summer signing Joao Neves put on a masterclass performance in his debut match. He was on the pitch for a short period and still ended up registering two assists.

There was plenty of noise from outside about how they were going to replace Kylian Mbappe in the new season. Luis Enrique’s side silenced all the doubters wrong against Le Havre. Their wide attackers Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembele particularly made their mark with a goal each. The team looks strong this season as they fight collectively for the title.

Montpellier endured a mixed campaign last term after securing a 12th-place finish in the Ligue 1. Once considered among the top teams in the league, the team have fallen dramatically in the last few seasons, becoming a mid-table side. 

Montpellier have only managed to become the champions of France in the 2011-12 season where they surprised everyone by claiming the title. They are yet to make a signing for the new season. In a 1-1 draw against Strasbourg in the opening match, they looked far from convincing.

Players to Watch

Ousmane Dembele (⁠PSG)

The France international opened his account for the new season in emphatic fashion. After coming off the bench, he powered a fine header into the net. He was found by a wonderful cross from new signing Joao Neves.

This goal will surely lift the confidence in him to become the new talisman figure in the team having already showcased his potential in his debut season. Last season he managed to score six goals and provide 12 assists. Dembele on his day can be unstoppable. Often defenders find him difficult to mark due to his speed and dribbling skills. 

Téji Savanier (Montpellier) 

Téji Savanier has started the new season from where he left off last term, opening his account against Strasbourg in the opening weekend. Last season, he finished at the top for both goals and assists in his team which highlights the impact he has. At 32 years old, he has gathered plenty of experience of playing in the top flight with this season being his sixth at the club. Savanier registered nine goals for the team last season while also adding another seven assists.
