Muscle fatigue was diagnosed as the cause of the injury. Therefore, Neymar won't be in the squad to face Montpellier on Wednesday. PSG is forced to adjust their line-up again due to the absence of the star players. It must be important for them to get points against Montpellier despite the suspension of Marco Verratti. There was only one player who came back and scored against Reims, and that was Neymar. While I won't say psg would have lost against Montpellier if he had been absent, I think they need to improve their ability to score goals.

I'm not sure, that Neymar will miss this match even though some sports news report the same thing as you said. i didn't find any news from their official page. but if Neymar is confirmed to be absent, Galtier will automatically include Ekitike as the main starting line-up in this match.
but, from several other news sources that I read. Galtier, will play the MNM Trio with a 4-3-1-2 formation pattern. Messi is back as a playmaker, Mbappe and Neymar are a duet on the front lines. while in midfield, there are Vitinha, Danilo, and Sanches, the rest are defensive line players. but don't get me wrong, this is just a predicted line-up that Galtier will apply. which means, it is uncertain and only a prediction.

Meanwhile, several Montpellier players have been ruled out through injury and two others suspended for red cards. even though this is their home match, it looks like Montpellier will find it difficult to keep up with PSG's game. and this fight, belongs to PSG.

Lens might be under the threat of losing their position to Marseille on this week. Because in my opinion they might be likely to lose points against Nice. They faced each other not a long time ago and there was a 0-0 draw at the end. Lens should play extra careful in this game because of that. Lens are currently the best home team by the way. They won all of their 10 games home.

By the way Marseille have an away game against Nantes and this should be a decent win for them. They just need to watch out for Nantes as they can play for stealing one point at least. Nantes have 5 draws in home games so far therefore it would be good for Marseille to be careful.

It’s not easy to manage a team like PSG, it’s too early to evaluate Galtier’s work, but we already see that he doesn’t have the best results in Ligue 1, and I think the result in the Champions League will be most important.

So far Galtier is not that disappointing because PSG is still in a safe position even though they have suffered 2 defeats in January (from Lens and Rennes). galtier must be very focused on the champions league because their main target is that.

Montpelier has a bad defense. and this could be an interesting game for the PSG striker who can have many chances to score. Montpelier also thrashed Nice 6-1. and this time facing PSG with a more frightening attack, PSG will get the victory. scoring 3 goals should be easy enough. but it all depends on how the strategy of each team.

the results that Montpellier has so far have not been good, their defense and midfield are very weak, and even the ligue 2 team (Pau) managed to beat Montpellier with a score of 2-1 in the french cup match. then facing PSG later, Montpellier will definitely be powerless, PSG will win easily imo.

Agree, most chances in next one or two weeks Marseille will be at the second spot because Lens is having problem in their away games and losing consistently points which is not good sign for them and if they want to stay at this spot surely they need to improve their performance because Monaco is also having good performance, and they also can kick them out from third spot which could be not good for them with their current performance.

Now just one or two poor results then surely we will have no chance for the PSG to stay at the top because now gape is just five points and Marseille and Monaco both are giving their best which is now challenging situation for the leaders which is also having tough challenge for the Champions League match in coming days and things are not looking good for them for having better results.
Marseille behind 2 points left from Lens on current Ligue 1 standing position right now, have chance for Marseille back to 2nd standing if win against Nantes today. Lens loss opportunity make points close behind PSG after draw against Troyes last match and current standing gap 3 points from top standing.

Possibility change not only with 2nd standing but also Lens have chance back to the top standing if PSG loss points today against Montpellier. Excited waiting the result matches today from PSG, Lens until Marseille, three points failure each teams above have potential will change current standing.
Yes, the position of the standings will change if the 3 clubs that are now in the top 3 don't get a win this week. Paris Saint Germain, Lens and also Marseille have a situation where they have to win the match if their position does not want to be further threatened or shifted. This kind of competition is what I want to see from the competition, because in this way we become more curious about who will win and wait for the results of the match. The 3 clubs that are currently competing will definitely realize their current position, they will definitely go all out in every match to get maximum results.

Nantes vs Marseille

Home team in the good shape after gets 7 consecutive without lose in all competitions and Nantes also had impressive records because besides unbeatable Nantes has 7 clean sheet from those matches i think this is indicated Nantes cannot be underestimate and their defense is very strong
But this time i believe Marseille will able to break the defense of Nantes especially they have Sánchez who currently on fire even he has scoring 2 goals from 3 matches on Ligue1 and my predictions Marseille will going to win the match but probably with slim scores
It will be an interesting match. You're right Nantes currently in good performance their defense is quite tough, yes we can't underestimate this team but Marseille on paper is also better. In five head to head matches Marseille never lost against Nantes, also current standings Marseille in third place. Same predictions, I also think this match would be won by Marseille but with a slim score.

Match between Montpelier and PSG will be a case of over superiority for the visiting team, PSG has shown a high level dorminance in their previous games with the home team, history have proven that PSG have won the home side in five of their last meetings thats to say if any team is to win this match that team should be PSG but this visiting rivals (PSG) most times is full of negative surprises, let's keep hope alive I believe PSG will triumph in this encounter.

The match between Reims and Lorient, Reims has played unbeaten in their last couple of games but their overall form has been erratic, while Lorient have struggled lately. Lorient have won 12 of the last 23 clashes with Reims, who beat them only four times during this run. Lorient and Reims played out a 0-0 draw in their first meeting of the season in October - it was the second goalless stalemate between the sides in their last three encounters. Reims are unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions, including in their last five in the league. Reims have drawn 11 times in the Ligue 1 this season, more than any other side in the division, while picking up wins on just five occasions, lower than all top-flight sides besides seven. Lorient have conceded 30 goals in the league so far this season, more than any side residing in the top 10 of the standings right now. The loss at home is not that easy so let's be looking at a draw in this game.

PSG needs to quickly find their best game again against Montpellier in week 21 of Ligue 1. Victory is a fixed price that cannot be negotiated, if they cannot achieve positive results, their position at the top of the standings will be threatened. PSG have only been able to win once in the last four matches, as a result of not being able to maintain their best performance, PSG is only 3 points ahead of Lens who is in second place.
With the home game and the positive results achieved in the first meeting this season against Montpellier, PSG are the favorites in this match, even though Galtier team are not in their best condition.

It’s not easy to manage a team like PSG, it’s too early to evaluate Galtier’s work, but we already see that he doesn’t have the best results in Ligue 1, and I think the result in the Champions League will be most important. Montpellier have lost 4 games out of the last 5, I don't think they have a great chance against PSG today, even if Verati and Neymar will miss this match.

In their matches in Ligue 1, Paris Saint Germain is almost always the favorite with any team that will be their opponent. Montpollier is not a balanced team when compared to Paris Saint Germain if you take into account the status of the two teams and also the players they have. But Paris Saint Germain must be extra vigilant if they don't want the same incident to happen again like the previous week. Again, this should be their game if they don't have any significant problems.

Even playing away, PSG is still favorite to win maybe because Montpeller's performance is not better away from PSG, they have 6 lost from 10 matches. but, when we look at statistic, PSG also call into doubt getting the win because some core player like Verrati and Mukiele were absent, we still have Messi, Mbappe and Neymar in front, they are will make surprise at least 2 different goals if have good coordination.
Even though I stumbled in a few previous matches, I'm sure PSG will win this match. Monpellier is not a difficult opponent and that can be put to good use by PSG to win. But again, I hope that Mbappe, Messi and Neymar can perform optimally in this match and score goals as usual.
Of course Montpellier should be easy points for PSG. You could say Montpellier are currently on the verge of the relegation zone and they are hugely motivated for this game. But PSG are not the club to give up this win. Especially as PSG have a real rival in the league and they can't afford to lose those points.

The fact that Montpellier has lost their last five matches does not help the argument that they are able to surprise PSG. PSG will play without some of its core players, such as Neymar, who may have experienced muscle fatigue. But still Montpellier do not have enough to offer at home when they are up against PSG. Not this time when PSG is building its confidence ahead of its round 16 match with Bayern. In the absence of Neymar, PSG can give Hugo Ekitike another chance to start. In this match, PSG should be able to score at least two goals.

If there is one team that can really have a chance to steal the title from PSG's hands I think that is Marseille.

Lens don't seem trustworthy for me when we talk about making it to the end. They have had a solid momentum but it is still doubtful if they can keep it until the end. Marseille are much more credible for it. Because they have a good squad and a solid form at the same time. While PSG are struggling this much it is like a golden opportunity for Marseille to put up a fierce fight against them. They will need to leave Lens behind first which shouldn't be very difficult actually. Because Lens made so many point losses recently.

Jesus yes, we need more people like you and a few others here to please finally try not to talk about bloody PSG alone!! One of the reasons I find it so hard to come here is that in other threads people are not just talking about the champions, but the teams they support. Here, majority of people are smashing posts about PSG.

Anyway yes Marseille? This was definitely one of the teams I would have gone for early in the season, it was for me between them and Monaco. Unfortunately I went for Monaco... or maybe fortunately as it's not yet too late to get some weird streak??

And Lens as I said yesterday, nice to see them in 2nd but they can't sustain football by crossing in this modern game. Especially if they aspire to CL, they will have to evolve.

PSG will likely fire Galtier if they fail to win the Ligue 1 title. However, PSG's main target is the Champions League. If PSG is able to play well by playing champions, then maybe PSG will keep Galtier as coach. And they will try to make the party stronger. Even if PSG can't play well in Ligue 1, they have the potential to play well in Champions League. Because their opponents Bayern Munich are not in good form. They have drawn in the last three matches. So if PSG's three attacking players can play well then they can win against Bayern Munich.
After having these matches after the break look like Galtier is going to have numbered days as coach of the PSG because they lost eight points but their luck giving them good chance second spotted Lens is also having lost six points in all away games otherwise they can claim for the top rank in Ligue 1 and with this performance if they are going to face Bayern Munich and lost match then surely things could be completely change and PSG will search for the another coach even right now situation in Bayern Munich is also same because they are also unable to win any match from their last three matches after the break while having two matches at home which is also not good currently these both leagues are having same performance from the leaders which is also interesting, and we can expect good fight for the Champions League match between these two teams.

This is because PSG point difference, which is getting closer to teams like Lens and Marseille in the Ligue 1 standings, is the main cause (IMO). The draw result that PSG got against Reims really had quite a bad impact on the team, therefore, I think this match against Montpellier is a must for PSG to win. PSG last away game at the Stade de la Mosson resulted in a 0 - 4 win, so, it is still very reasonable to predict that this match will end with a 2 goal difference.
