PSG needs to quickly find their best game again against Montpellier in week 21 of Ligue 1. Victory is a fixed price that cannot be negotiated, if they cannot achieve positive results, their position at the top of the standings will be threatened. PSG have only been able to win once in the last four matches, as a result of not being able to maintain their best performance, PSG is only 3 points ahead of Lens who is in second place.
With the home game and the positive results achieved in the first meeting this season against Montpellier, PSG are the favorites in this match, even though Galtier team are not in their best condition.

It’s not easy to manage a team like PSG, it’s too early to evaluate Galtier’s work, but we already see that he doesn’t have the best results in Ligue 1, and I think the result in the Champions League will be most important. Montpellier have lost 4 games out of the last 5, I don't think they have a great chance against PSG today, even if Verati and Neymar will miss this match.

Agree, most chances in next one or two weeks Marseille will be at the second spot because Lens is having problem in their away games and losing consistently points which is not good sign for them and if they want to stay at this spot surely they need to improve their performance because Monaco is also having good performance, and they also can kick them out from third spot which could be not good for them with their current performance.

Now just one or two poor results then surely we will have no chance for the PSG to stay at the top because now gape is just five points and Marseille and Monaco both are giving their best which is now challenging situation for the leaders which is also having tough challenge for the Champions League match in coming days and things are not looking good for them for having better results.

Marseille behind 2 points left from Lens on current Ligue 1 standing position right now, have chance for Marseille back to 2nd standing if win against Nantes today. Lens loss opportunity make points close behind PSG after draw against Troyes last match and current standing gap 3 points from top standing.

Possibility change not only with 2nd standing but also Lens have chance back to the top standing if PSG loss points today against Montpellier. Excited waiting the result matches today from PSG, Lens until Marseille, three points failure each teams above have potential will change current standing.

The match between Reims and Lorient, Reims has played unbeaten in their last couple of games but their overall form has been erratic, while Lorient have struggled lately. Lorient have won 12 of the last 23 clashes with Reims, who beat them only four times during this run. Lorient and Reims played out a 0-0 draw in their first meeting of the season in October - it was the second goalless stalemate between the sides in their last three encounters. Reims are unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions, including in their last five in the league. Reims have drawn 11 times in the Ligue 1 this season, more than any other side in the division, while picking up wins on just five occasions, lower than all top-flight sides besides seven. Lorient have conceded 30 goals in the league so far this season, more than any side residing in the top 10 of the standings right now. The loss at home is not that easy so let's be looking at a draw in this game.

Montpelier has a bad defense. and this could be an interesting game for the PSG striker who can have many chances to score. Montpelier also thrashed Nice 6-1. and this time facing PSG with a more frightening attack, PSG will get the victory. scoring 3 goals should be easy enough. but it all depends on how the strategy of each team.

Nantes vs Marseille

Home team in the good shape after gets 7 consecutive without lose in all competitions and Nantes also had impressive records because besides unbeatable Nantes has 7 clean sheet from those matches i think this is indicated Nantes cannot be underestimate and their defense is very strong
But this time i believe Marseille will able to break the defense of Nantes especially they have Sánchez who currently on fire even he has scoring 2 goals from 3 matches on Ligue1 and my predictions Marseille will going to win the match but probably with slim scores

It will be an interesting match. You're right Nantes currently in good performance their defense is quite tough, yes we can't underestimate this team but Marseille on paper is also better. In five head to head matches Marseille never lost against Nantes, also current standings Marseille in third place. Same predictions, I also think this match would be won by Marseille but with a slim score.

Yes, the position of the standings will change if the 3 clubs that are now in the top 3 don't get a win this week. Paris Saint Germain, Lens and also Marseille have a situation where they have to win the match if their position does not want to be further threatened or shifted. This kind of competition is what I want to see from the competition, because in this way we become more curious about who will win and wait for the results of the match. The 3 clubs that are currently competing will definitely realize their current position, they will definitely go all out in every match to get maximum results.

It’s not easy to manage a team like PSG, it’s too early to evaluate Galtier’s work, but we already see that he doesn’t have the best results in Ligue 1, and I think the result in the Champions League will be most important.

So far Galtier is not that disappointing because PSG is still in a safe position even though they have suffered 2 defeats in January (from Lens and Rennes). galtier must be very focused on the champions league because their main target is that.

Montpelier has a bad defense. and this could be an interesting game for the PSG striker who can have many chances to score. Montpelier also thrashed Nice 6-1. and this time facing PSG with a more frightening attack, PSG will get the victory. scoring 3 goals should be easy enough. but it all depends on how the strategy of each team.

the results that Montpellier has so far have not been good, their defense and midfield are very weak, and even the ligue 2 team (Pau) managed to beat Montpellier with a score of 2-1 in the french cup match. then facing PSG later, Montpellier will definitely be powerless, PSG will win easily imo.

[Velvet78]

Lens might be under the threat of losing their position to Marseille on this week. Because in my opinion they might be likely to lose points against Nice. They faced each other not a long time ago and there was a 0-0 draw at the end. Lens should play extra careful in this game because of that. Lens are currently the best home team by the way. They won all of their 10 games home.

By the way Marseille have an away game against Nantes and this should be a decent win for them. They just need to watch out for Nantes as they can play for stealing one point at least. Nantes have 5 draws in home games so far therefore it would be good for Marseille to be careful.

Muscle fatigue was diagnosed as the cause of the injury. Therefore, Neymar won't be in the squad to face Montpellier on Wednesday. PSG is forced to adjust their line-up again due to the absence of the star players. It must be important for them to get points against Montpellier despite the suspension of Marco Verratti. There was only one player who came back and scored against Reims, and that was Neymar. While I won't say psg would have lost against Montpellier if he had been absent, I think they need to improve their ability to score goals.

I'm not sure, that Neymar will miss this match even though some sports news report the same thing as you said. i didn't find any news from their official page. but if Neymar is confirmed to be absent, Galtier will automatically include Ekitike as the main starting line-up in this match.
but, from several other news sources that I read. Galtier, will play the MNM Trio with a 4-3-1-2 formation pattern. Messi is back as a playmaker, Mbappe and Neymar are a duet on the front lines. while in midfield, there are Vitinha, Danilo, and Sanches, the rest are defensive line players. but don't get me wrong, this is just a predicted line-up that Galtier will apply. which means, it is uncertain and only a prediction.

Meanwhile, several Montpellier players have been ruled out through injury and two others suspended for red cards. even though this is their home match, it looks like Montpellier will find it difficult to keep up with PSG's game. and this fight, belongs to PSG.

While I won't say psg would have lost against Montpellier if he had been absent, I think they need to improve their ability to score goals.

I think the high odds of Montpellier win and draw against PSG is trap, I hope people know that.
I am very sure and confident enough to say that PSG will not be in serious trouble without Neymar and Marco Verratti. PSG are required to win this away match following their previous draw against Reims. They can't afford to make mistakes but maybe have to improve their teamwork to win this match.

2 losses and 1 draw in the last 5 matches are bad for PSG. I'm sure Christophe Galtier is aware of that and in this match he will definitely demand his team to win and come home with 3 points. Without winning PSG will only be very close to Lens, so winning is mandatory for them.

[bitgolden]

Even playing away, PSG is still favorite to win maybe because Montpeller's performance is not better away from PSG, they have 6 lost from 10 matches. but, when we look at statistic, PSG also call into doubt getting the win because some core player like Verrati and Mukiele were absent, we still have Messi, Mbappe and Neymar in front, they are will make surprise at least 2 different goals if have good coordination.

The fact that Montpellier has lost their last five matches does not help the argument that they are able to surprise PSG. PSG will play without some of its core players, such as Neymar, who may have experienced muscle fatigue. But still Montpellier do not have enough to offer at home when they are up against PSG. Not this time when PSG is building its confidence ahead of its round 16 match with Bayern. In the absence of Neymar, PSG can give Hugo Ekitike another chance to start. In this match, PSG should be able to score at least two goals.

I think it is also about the fact that it's.. you know PSG they are playing. They are not even on the same "league" of talent, I think it looks a bit towards like how they are similar to something of each other basically, and I think it's definitely something that would be entertaining to do. I am not saying it's going to be something special or something, but it is definitely something that I would be getting a lot of similar vibes like a team with different divisions apart.

In any case, PSG will win this, it's not even a question mark in my mind and I think that it's going to end up with a situation like a domination and a big difference between each other.

Montpelier also thrashed Nice 6-1. and this time facing PSG with a more frightening attack, PSG will get the victory. scoring 3 goals should be easy enough. but it all depends on how the strategy of each team.

Anyway, Montpellier is not a threat to PSG because in fact, the record for the final results of every Montpellier match in Ligue 1 so far this season is not good for the results of home and away matches. Also, because PSG, in the previous two matches, had bad results, it is very possible that the match against Montpellier will make PSG very convincing to win.
So yes, I personally have no doubts about the chance to win for PSG in this away match, because it's time for PSG to widen the gap in points to secure its position at the top of the standings.

Montpellier HSC - Paris Saint-Germain FC



neymar will not be playing, this is something very bad for PSG that in the last few games has been a team with problems in the attack when they don't have the trio to play, we all know the serious problems of the defense of psg and that at least when they score a lot of goals could compensate for the problem in defense because by scoring a lot of goals they would win games even at the end of the game they concede a goal. I hope that today they can win this game because I bet on them to win and the odds are not even good

AS Monaco FC - AJ Auxerre

I bet that monaco can win this game, they have been a team that can score a lot of goals, their attack is very efficient and they will be playing against a team that does not have a good defense, I think it is a good chance for monaco to win in this game

[hahay]

Wow, I didn't think Reims would be able to beat Lorient with that score, because Reims also conceded an early goal from Lorient. But it looks like Reims is in a good trend, because in the previous match Reims also managed to draw against PSG at the Parc des Princes and maybe this result also made the Reims squad have morale which is still in a good mood this match.

Because if I consider their head to head results, then at least Reims doesn't have a chance to win big. But anyway, congrats to Reims who looks like they will consistently achieve good results in the next few matches.

[Distraction]

It was a really comfortable victory for Marseille. The first goal was really funny by the way.    Joao Victor tried to prevent the opponent but his touch caused the ball to get past the goalkeeper between his legs and hit the back of the net. The second goal was a work of art and lovely to watch. The new arrival Ounahi got past the defenders two times with great feints and scored his first goal in his first match with Marseille. He has already impressed people by his effort in the World Cup and he continues from where he left.

Now Lens are in big trouble as they are still 1-0 behind Nice in a home match. This score is enough to help Marseille capture the second position in the standings.

Mbappe missed a penalty, there will be talk about this but good thing is that it looks like PSG are not going to loose the game else the talk about the penalty and rebound miss from him would have been more. Personally I don't think it's a big deal that he missed a penalty, even the best players in the world including Lionel Messi his teammate have missed penalties at one point in his career. if I remember correctly during the world cup Mbappe was able to score a very important penalty for France in the finals where we know the pressure and tension is high, so that at least validates his penalty taking abilities, that is he just had a bad game.

Missing Mbappe's penalty, 2 goals being disallowed for offside is hot topic if PSG loses or draw. But now it seems that the discussion will be bit neglected because PSG are back ahead 1-3. Of course penalties are difficult and stressful, and almost every kicker has missed. PSG won the match after previously draw against Reims, this was an expected win because they dropped a lot of points in their last few match. Meanwhile, Lens' defeat has made PSG 6 points or 5 points ahead of Marseille.

Three goals were indeed enough to win for PSG, but if you look at the overall results of the match that was over. Actually PSG had three goal chances undone and missed before Fabian Ruiz scored in the game in the second half. You can see where Kylian Mbappe failed to score with a penalty kick in the 10th minute of the first half and also added VAR again in the 35th minute by Kiki Kouyate who was also in the first half.

This means that PSG has more opportunities to score goals, even though only three goals were scored by PSG players throughout the match. But it also really didn't hurt PSG because three goals were enough to bring PSG the winner in that match. Now PSG are strengthening the top of the table again by making a five-point gap to Marseille because Lens had to drop one position after not being able to win at home against Nice.

Psg really outdone themselves this time around although the first half ended a nil nil draw prior to mbappe missing the penalty chance for psg to take the lead but they failed and was starting to get a little scared as they fvck up in their last with game against reims.  The french is not that competitive so seeing Paris Lead With some significant point is not a new case and I feel  they are going to be the league champions by the end of the season.
