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.

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.

Psg this year is a very defferent team regardless the bad results that they having right now, but i can feel that this team can beat any oppenet and they will surely fight hard for the title to break the curse and bring the UCL to france, what happening to them in the league 1 will not have big affect on their preformence in the champoins league in my opinion
There is no term curse in any football because bringing home the UCL title this season is not like bringing home a cake that you have bought at the market which looks very easy for anyone. This season's Champions League is still inhabited by many strong teams even though there are some that are starting to look inconsistent in their respective domestic leagues.

But as you said that a bad result in the domestic league will not be a full benchmark for the Champions League so that every team in general still has the same chance in the Champions League competition, and that is clearly not only for PSG.

If you look at the statistics, the home team has not had a good record in their last four matches. Montpellier always suffered defeat during this period. On the other hand, PSG must win this match. Previously, Kylian Mbappe cs was held by Reims 1-1. If PSG loses or draws again, RC Lens will easily catch up with PSG's points. The reason is, RC Lens is only three points away from Les Parisiens.

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

You are right. PSG has a strong squad. And there are plenty of star players in the squad. But even then PSG's overall performance is not good due to poor tactics. Match strategy plays a very important role to win the Champions League title. Moreover, PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 has decreased. PSG is just three points clear of second-placed Lens in the table. If PSG loses a match, Lens may be able to take the top spot in the table. I am happy that PSG's dominance has diminished. Ligue 1 is getting competitive.
PSG's next match against Montpellier, which is in 14th place in the French league standings, should be an easy match for PSG to overthrow Montpellier, but I'm not sure of winning if their performance is as random as the previous match, even though they have a composition of star players though. Especially in this match Montpellier as the host against PSG, it will definitely be quite difficult for PSG to face Montpellier.

And Lens is playing eleventh place in the table which is Nice, who has been playing quite well so far too, but Lens being the host in the match will definitely dominate the match and I am sure Lens will definitely win.
True as you say, maybe Lens will take the top position.
Interesting enough to bet on Lens.

I think it would be somewhat of an easy match for PSG against Montpellier. Although their recent performances aren’t all that good and impressive, I’m pretty confident that they would claim the win over Montpellier although with their recent performances, it may not be easy.
PSG is right now in a tight spot with Lens following fast behind. There is no room for  any slip ups and they know it. They need to win their next match and I think they might just do it.
The league is getting more and more competitive.

 Ligue 1 wasn't that competitive but now I just like how things turn out to be the way they are. Imagine PSG topping the table with 15pts and you get to wonder if PSG is the only strong team in that league. The Paris team are not in their best of form this season and it got me wonder why is it that they have one of the deadliest attacking up front and they still have to play like they're having the worst team in Ligue 1. Well, I feel a little bit relief to see Lens making life hard for PSG with the 3 points difference that mean they have to win (PSG) without losing or having a draw, is a sigh that PSG are not the only team fit to lift the trophy and it will be a joy if PSG lose it to Lens.
 Another thing I observed is that if a different team wins the league, the next season that team becomes useless and even struggling to get to the top 4, is something that happened to Monaco and up till now they're just running round like a team that's not familiar with the league. I just wish to see a different LENS that's if they managed to win the league.

Now, thanks to PSG they have a team that could potentially win the UCL, not saying they will, but that's what they are aiming at at least. This is why it's not that much fun to watch the league when PSG wins nor when they lose, it's both quite boring to see in the end.

The french league will be much more interesting once there are some clubs that are able competing with PSG like this time. It seems the internal problem is the main reason why the performance of PSG has been declining a lot. Lens and marseille made me feel confidence rather than PSG to win the title for this season. Messi will be going out from psg at the end of season. PSG needs to find a replacement for him. The performance from a combination of mbappe, messi, and neymar didn't look good from several matches.
Will we see a new winner this season? i hope we will. PSG itself already agreed with chelsea about hakim ziyech transfer but there's no confirmation whether such transfer was successful or not.

They have that as an objective from quite some time now,they are fighting many years to win the Champions League yet they are being eliminated year after year from a different team from another major league,like Spain and England most of the cases.
In quality, they are not worse than any big club in Europe from Spain, England, Italy or Germany but their weak defense is so harmful for their chance to take the trophy.

Quote
They sure have great quality players like having for me the best midfielder and attacker like Messi and Neymar and these names only are scary enough to scare any opponent yet in the Champions League it is not working.
A weakest area of PSG squad is their defensive system especially their defenders. They also need strong defensive midfielders who can reduce pressure and risk on defenders and goalkeeper.

Marquinhos is not good enough for an ambitious club like PSG. Sergio Ramos came but I can see he is no longer be able to cover defensive loopholes for Marquinhos. He himself made some serious mistakes too because of his old age.

The attacking trio contributes to their weak defense too as they mostly don't join defend when opponents do counter attack or attack against PSG.

I would guess that if PSG wasn't this good, the league would not be even at fifth position right now. Imagine it, if PSG was as good as Lyon or Lille or something like that, and every other team is the same exact level, would this league be any good? I would say they would be pretty lower level, they would be at the levels of Portugal or Dutch leagues basically, not talked about with the big leagues.

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.

PSG keep making their fans feel unaccomplished because of their inconsistency and unexpected results, it is a reality and fact that most internally respected and professional footballers are found in this club, but the day to day results of these team is devastating, every right thinking person would have thought that PSG will win their last league encounter but many person got a shocker, despite the red, PSG ought to have maintained the 1:0 lead but the allowed Reims that is not in good position to cause them a good 3 points which is not good for a team that want to continue to be at the top of the league table, as it stands now they have to work harder to maintained their position at the top.

They should have made Len's fans feeling better and happy claiming that the chase for the league one still continues after a lazy performance which also saw Marco Veratti the Italian been red carded.
They should better bounce tommorow when they play away from home else if lens get to win they will be sharing same points as Paris Saint Germans who are just three points above lens.
Reims also felt proud of taking and sharing points with Psg after becoming the second league one side to takes points from them in 2023 after lens.

Vaccinized.. immunity level is full.
French league has been much competitive, PSG has failed to utilize their chances of winning their last and that has placed them in a jeopardy where they have to work harder to maintain their chances of being at the top.
PSG has a competitor under Lens, only 3 points adrift, of course PSG must be able to be better than before, considering the bad games in the previous matches which made PSG lose points and Lens could overtake them at the top of the standings, I think PSG will also not let Lens took their place

We don't think PSG players will lose form like this. PSG dropped points against Rennes, Reims and Lens. PSG's attacking players were underperforming in every match. Mbappe, Messi and Neymar's performances are poor. This is why they lost points. PSG will play against Montpellier in the next match. Montpellier's performances are now erratic and weak. PSG has a good chance of getting full points in this match. PSG will win if Galtier doesn't make any big mistakes in this match.

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.
There is a possibility that Galtier will be fired if PSG continue to get less than optimal results, be it in Ligue 1 or UCL. But if you want to become the UCL Champion this season, I think it's still very difficult considering the candidates for several other European clubs are still strong enough to beat. Against Bayern Munich in the UCL I think that's one of the challenges they have to conquer, indeed Bayern are currently in a declining performance after getting a draw in their regular league, but sometimes Bayern Munich are stronger in UCL matches and that's what PSG has to watch out for. Meanwhile, in Ligue 1, PSG must continuously widen the gap with its closest rival, Lens, who always get positive results in every match.

The way PSG is playing right now, I am not sure that they are 100% going to be the winner of the title. I know they are still the best team in the league. But I do not know if they will be able to win that title as easily as we thought they will. This team has a good attack. But that defense is very weak and the midfield is not the best if I put it decently. Honestly, I am not very hopeful about PSG in the Champions League. Because even if everything is in their favor, they're still somehow losing. The only thing PSG was very confident about was the ligue1 title. But that is still under doubt.


IMO, individually PSG have good players in defense. there were Ramos, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendez, unfortunately they didn't have a creative attacking midfielder when PSG's front line was stalemate. plus, as we know that Messi and Mbappe rarely help their defense when the opposing team is in attack mode. especially, when the opponent has a chance to counterattack. in the end, there was an imbalance in their line of defense.

Meaning, PSG needs a multi-functional midfielder like De Jong. can be a Pivot plus, helping the front lines when building attacks. I wonder why PSG haven't brought in the newcomer they need, I don't know if Galtier is confident enough with his existing squad. I mean, there were rumors that Mbappe and Messi had asked De Jong to join PSG. Despite all that, however, PSG are still too strong for their opponents in Ligue 1. After all, there are still 18 matches remaining until the end of this season.

No reason for PSG to lose another point in the upcoming match. Lens becomes even closer to the PSG. marseille was also performing so well in the last matches. PSG must be back again on the right track to win the upcoming matches without getting draw anymore. Lens is always trying to make the points to be the same as PSG. PSG has been missing so many golden opportunities to make the gap to the lens become even bigger. I think that the performance of those world-class trio was not so good.
It can be seen from how those great players were not able to make PSG win the last match.

@X-ray I believe that they should now start to bounce back, because it’ll be really embarrassing if they end up losing the league title to Lens. Furthermore I’m also starting to wonder if their decision to hire Galtier was the right one?, and if PSG soon doesn’t start winning matches then he could end up being sacked even before the season ends.
