Les Parisiens welcome Montpellier to the Parc des Princes for Friday's Premier League clash. The home side looks to extend their lead at the top of the table as they're visited by out-of-sorts Montpellier. Read on for our free tips and predictions.

PSG are currently on a three-game winning run against their opponents. The 11/12 Ligue 1 champions, on the other hand, have managed only one win in the last five meetings. Will history repeat itself once again this Friday?

Ligue 1 title race still on

This time around, PSG don't have a healthy lead at the summit of the Ligue 1 standings which is so unlike them taking into account the past few seasons. The defending champions are level on points with Lille and just two ahead of Lyon. At the moment, it is looking like it would go down the wire- which could change, however, we expect them Pochettino's boys to be in the thick of things when all is said and done. Layvin Kurzawa's 70th-minute strike was enough to keep them at the top of the table in their most recent league game against Angers.

Out of sorts Montpellier faced with a huge task

Montpellier is currently at an all-time low with no wins in six league games. What's more, they have managed to pick up two points on only two those games, losing the remaining. The Montpellier defence couldn't cope with Ben Yedder who netted a brace to guide Monaco to a 3-2 win. As such, it is quite clear that the side needs a change in fortune, and fast, if they're to finish in the top half this season.

PSG vs Montpellier Prediction: 2-0

Montpellier, with the 3rd worst defence in the league travelling to the capital to take on the defending champions ad league leaders, doesn't look like good news. As such, we believe all road point towards a comprehensive home win as they continue their hunt for another league title.
