Preview: Montpellier vs PSG

Following their crucial win over Manchester United midweek, PSG will now be aiming to get back to winning ways as they travel to face Montpellier in domestic action this Saturday. Les Parisiens come into this game winless in their last two Ligue 1 games - which is the first time this has happened since the beginning of the campaign when they lost their first two matches - and this has allowed the chasing pack to narrow the gap to just two points. That includes upcoming opponents Montpellier, who are on a four-match winning streak and could actually leap-frog the reigning Ligue 1 champs with a win on their home turf in this game, as well as Lille, Lyon, and Monaco.

La Paillade have really turned their fortunes around after a terrible run in October, with November being a impressive month. Michel der Zakarian's squad picked up 12 points against Saint-Etienne, Bordeaux, Strasbourg and Lorient over four rounds to haul themselves up the table into fifth spot and with Lille and Monaco locking horns could potentially actually finish matchday 12 on top of the Ligue 1 table. Of course, they will also have to hope that Lyon, who sit in third spot, lose to 12th-ranked Metz (who are on a three game winless streak), defeat PSG, and for Monaco and Lille to cancel each other out with a stalemate.

Meanwhile, PSG's 3-1 win over Manchester United now have them set up nicely for a spot in the round of 16, as they sit on nine points, along with the Red Devils and RB Leipzig. However, they are not out of the woods just yet, as they must beat Istanbul Basaksehir in order to secure safe passage to the knockout rounds, and that will be on Thomas Tuchel's mind as he has to carefully balance his starting XI for this match in order to keep all his key players fighting fit for that must-win match next week. That being said, he certainly will not want to drop any points here, as that could prove costly and will potentially see Les Parisiens surrender top spot by the time the dust settles on matchday 12.
