PSG will once again open a new round of the French championship. On August 23, the current champion of the country will host Montpellier on its home field. The Parisians were able to confidently win the first game with an advantage of three goals, but so far they have not been able to lead Ligue 1 by additional indicators, losing the lead to Marseille. Will the hosts be able to rise to the first line for at least a day? - you will find the answer and trending bets on the match in the betting tip
Command Analysis
Paris Saint-Germain
FranceCurrent form
In the first round of the season, PSG started the match uncertainly. Having scored against the modest Le Havre in the third minute, the Parisians' game stalled. In the 48th minute, the opponent managed to equalize the score, and in the 55th even took the lead, but the goal was not counted due to a handball. The match was equal until Dembele, Marquinhos and Barcola appeared on the field, who turned the match upside down. From the 85th to the 90th minute, the current champion scored three unanswered goals and confidently won the match (4:1). Luis Enrique can only be praised for such a competent castling , which allowed the club not to lose face.
PSG had a huge advantage over their opponents in the first round. They had 74% possession of the ball against 26%, shot 14 times on goal against five and took eight corners against two for Le Havre. However, they allowed a lot to be done by the team that was fighting for survival last season. If they play the same way in the upcoming match, it is not a fact that they will be able to win confidently.
I would like to separately mention 21-year-old left winger Brady Barcol, who came on in the 71st minute and, having spent a little more than 20 minutes on the field, repeatedly caused inconvenience to the defense, and in the 85th minute he was able to score the third goal for the Parisians, and then it became clear that PSG had the victory in their pocket.

Lucas Hernendez, Kimpembe and Gonslo Ramos will miss the match due to injuries.

Montpellier
FranceCurrent form
Montpellier shared points with Strasbourg in the first round (1:1), while playing the match on their home field. What is surprising is that the Paladins played second fiddle in that match. This style of play is quite logical against PSG, but it was stupid to play like that against a club that cannot yet be considered a top club in the French championship. With such a game, it will be extremely problematic to count on European Cup places.
Michel Ter-Zakarian has one joy. He doesn't have to think about who to put on the field, as there are enough players to make up a fighting lineup. In order to fight for at least one point, the visitors need to give it their all. Only Benjamin Lecomte, the Montpellier goalkeeper, was close to this figure in the last round. If it weren't for his quality play, it would be unlikely that they would have managed to play for at least a draw.
Disqualifications and injuries
Junior Samba will not take part in the match due to an ankle injury.
Interesting trends for betting
Montpellier have lost their last two away matches
Montpellier have scored away from home in 11 consecutive matches

1.50Tip and bets
The teams have been playing effectively in their face-to-face encounters and do not sit in their penalty area for long. This is confirmed by the fact that in three of the four previous face-to-face encounters, the opponents have scored at least four times between them. Considering this factor, as well as how the teams have been playing their matches recently, we come to the conclusion that the over-all total for goals scored will be broken in the second round of Ligue 1.
Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals with odds of 1.95
Bet on the outcome
Montpellier have lost away to PSG in eight games in a row. Two of these matches were won by two goals. The Parisians are not yet in their best form. This is confirmed by the fact that in the last game against Le Havre they looked unconvincing for 75 minutes. That is why we do not expect a major rout, but simply a confident victory for the hosts with an advantage of a couple of goals.
Our prediction is PSG to win by two goals with odds of 4.10
Bet on corners
In the last three head-to-head matches, the opponents have not served less than 11 corners between them. It is unlikely that this match will be an exception.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 more corners with odds of 1.65
