Our Predictions
Odds of 9.00 on Montpellier reflect their underdog status, but being at home offers a slight edge, especially if PSG turns in a less focused performance. Still, PSG’s overall superiority makes a home victory unlikely, but surprises happen—hence the risk with the odds.
Odds of 1.25 show PSG’s dominance, and recent head-to-head results plus their away form suggest they can squeeze out a win. Given Montpellier’s recent defensive struggles and PSG’s attacking firepower, both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals is highly probable.
While PSG’s favorites are clear, Montpellier’s home resilience and recent scoring pattern make a draw plausible, especially if PSG rotates or isn’t at full intensity. Both teams scoring and a high-scoring draw could be on the cards—especially considering PSG’s recent form.
Welcome to Extratips, where today we're diving into the clash between Montpellier and PSG on May 10th at 19:00 local time in France. PSG, sitting comfortably at the top of Ligue 1 with 78 points, looks to cement their dominance, while Montpellier is lingering at the bottom with serious relegation worries. The odds favor PSG heavily, with bet365 offering just 1.25 for the away win, while home, Montpellier, trails at 9.00—an underdog’s dream. A draw sits at 7.00, making it a tempting punt for those craving a surprise. Looking at recent form, PSG’s last five matches include a draw, a loss, then three wins, showing some wobbliness but still top dog. Montpellier’s last five results are more inconsistent, with just one win. Historically, PSG has dominated these fixtures, winning four of the last five encounters, often with both teams scoring. But Montpellier’s been resilient at home, losing only once in five tries recently. Key factors? PSG’s star players are hungry to seal the title, but recent defensive lapses (18 goals conceded in 16 away matches) could be exploited. Montpellier desperately needs points, but PSG’s firepower and experience seem too much to handle. Expect a lively, high-scoring affair—perhaps a straight PSG win, with goals from both sides, and over 2.5 goals likely. Here’s our take: PSG should edge it, but don’t rule out Montpellier fighting hard at home, especially early. It’s a fun fixture with plenty riding on it—so let’s get into our predictions!
