Over 3.5 Goals
Strangely, with all of the firepower at their disposal, PSG didn't have the most over 3.5 goals games this season. They are only tenth with six of those games, the same number as Montpellier. But, this match in particular should be a case on its own. These teams had a remarkable nine out of their last ten matches with over 3.5 goals. This season alone, Montpellier has one of the most peculiar goal stats, they scored 30 times but conceded 40 goals. PSG, on the other hand, is tied with Lens for the best defense in the league with 14 conceded goals while they also have the most efficient attack with 48 goals in their books.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Even though PSG will be a massive favorite, Montpellier knows how to score goals. In those ten aforementioned games against their next opponent, they scored in five matches while having plenty of opportunities to increase their tally. PSG often concedes goals when they are scoring big themselves, so this might be the opportunity Montpellier will wait for. Since the winter break was over, and the season restarted, the home team had two out of five BTTS games, while PSG had two in four games played.

This is how the bookmakers are predicting the match could unfold:
Montpellier odds: 9/1 (9.00) – 11.1%
Draw odds: 9/2 (5.50) – 18.2%
PSG odds: 2/7 (1.29) – 77.8%
Bookmakers firmly predict a clear-cut PSG win, but those odds don't seem all too impressive, so the bettor could look for the alternatives: PSG is expected to attack in waves, and that fact usually gets them several corner kicks. With that being said, Over 10,5 Corners will get you odds of 5/4 (2.25) – 44.4%. PSG winning with BTTS will get you odds of 6/4 (2.50) – 40%.
Team News, Possible Lineups, and Preview
Montpellier
The home team survived the past weekend by defeating Auxerre away with the score of 2-0, and now they can take on the challenge of facing PSG with some peace. It's been four years since the last time Montpellier beat PSG, they did it at home, and the score was 3-2. Montpellier has a five-point advantage over the first team under the relegation line, and their focus is to get some more distance from that dangerous position that could find themselves in if another losing streak would occur which is always a possibility for this team that has been inconsistent throughout the season. Montpellier will be without suspended Elye Wahi and Wahbi Khazri, while Jordan Ferry and Pedro Mendes have health issues.
Possible lineup: Lecomte, Tchato, Jullien, Esteve, Maouassa, Chotart, Leroy, Nordin, Savanier, Mavididi, Germain.
PSG
When it comes to PSG, nothing but a win here will satisfy their ambitions. But, sometimes when it comes to their state of mind, it's about motivation to play against a weaker opposition, or rather whether their mindest is fully focused on the task at hand. There is a certain situation when that is not the case, and the team on the other side of the field tries to take advantage of that aspect. However, this season there is more of a fight for the title, PSG should have their best players fully concentrated on winning this game. The visiting team has Nuno Mendes, Nordi Mukiele, and Presnel Kimpembe unavailable through injury. Marco Verrati is suspended.
Possible lineup: Donnarumma, Ramos, Marquinhos, Pereira, Mukiele, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Bernat, Messi, Neymar, Mbappe.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

PSG
Player to Watch: Kylian Mbappe
Perhaps playing his last season for PSG, Kylian Mbappe continues to break the record in Ligue 1 with his goalscoring efforts. Currently the top striker in the league with 13 goals, as well as a couple of assists, he will be a troublesome sighting for Montpellier's defenders.
