Paris Saint-Germain’s three-game winless streak in Ligue 1 can only be broken with a victory against Montpellier tonight.

Coach Luis Enrique and his team view this as achievable as they travel to Montpellier for the latest match in Round 26 of the 2023/24 Ligue 1 season. Paris Saint-Germain is considered the stronger side compared to the home team.

Despite their consecutive wins in cup competitions, Les Parisiens have been held to three consecutive draws in Ligue 1. This coincides with the diminishing presence of their star player, Kylian Mbappe, who will depart PSG at the end of the season.

Paris Saint-Germain is not burdened by significant pressure before their visit to Montpellier. Their 10-point lead over Brest before Round 26 makes Coach Enrique and his players feel at ease. Meanwhile, Montpellier is just three points away from the direct relegation position, which adds pressure on the home team at Stade de la Mosson.

The coaching staff will still employ the strategy of using Mbappe as a substitute in Ligue 1, despite costing PSG six points. There is a possibility that the French superstar will start against Montpellier to help his team secure an early goal. According to the unfolding scenario, Mbappe will likely be substituted in the second half if this objective is accomplished. 

Les Parisiens aspire to achieve a comfortable victory against their lower-ranked opponents. Montpellier suffered a 3-0 defeat in the first leg at PSG’s home stadium, making it challenging for them to surprise the league leaders. However, they managed to overcome Nice with a 2-1 victory in their previous match. It will be a daunting challenge for Montpellier to secure points at home against a determined PSG side eager to regain their form after three consecutive draws.
