The Ligue 1 is back in action with another round of matches this week as Montpellier lock horns with Christophe Galtier's star-studded PSG outfit in an important clash at the Stade de la Mosson on Wednesday.
Montpellier vs PSG Preview
Montpellier are currently in 14th place in the Ligue 1 standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side defeated Auxerre by a comfortable 2-0 margin over the weekend and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment but have endured a slump in recent weeks. The Parisian giants were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Reims in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
