Paris Saint-Germain team news
PSG will likely be without Goncalo Ramos after the Portuguese striker was sidelined just 20 minutes into their win against Le Havre due to an ankle injury.
Ramos is expected to join Presnel Kimpembe and Lucas Hernandez on the injury list, while it remains uncertain if Fabian Ruiz will be ready to return following his Euro 2024 campaign with Spain.
Last Friday, young guns Yoram Zague and Ibrahim Mbaye started on PSG's left side. However, with Nuno Mendes returning from suspension, he is anticipated to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup.
Paris Saint-Germain possible XI: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Pacho, Lucas Beraldo, Nuno Mendes; Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Lee Kang-in; Asensio, Kolo Muani, Barcola.
Montpellier team news
Montpellier will be without several defenders for this match, as Theo Sainte-Luce, Christopher Jullien, Lucas Mincarelli, and Issiaga Sylla are all dealing with injuries.
Khalil Fayad is also sidelined due to a thigh issue, but Wahbi Khazri, who missed last weekend’s game due to suspension, is expected to make his return.
While they may no longer be able to call upon the talents of the now-departed Kylian Mbappe following his summer move to Real Madrid, defending champions PSG looked comfortable as they coasted to a convincing 1-4 away win in their season opener against Le Harve last week.
They now come up against a Montpellier that's widely tipped to be competing at the lower reaches of Ligue 1 this term. Michel Der Zakarian's side got the new campaign underway with a 1-1 draw at home to Strasbourg last weekend, but are set to be without key man Wahbi Khazri for this testing fixture.
Gone is the entirety of their three-headed attacking monster, with Neymar and Lionel Messi departing last summer and Kylian Mbappe moving on this past offseason. They've parted ways in recent years with the likes of Marco Verratti, Angel Di Maria, and Mauro Icardi as well, looking to engineer Champions League success with a different approach.
Suddenly, the club's European prospects look better than ever, suddenly boasting a roster bloated with more sheer talent than star-power. Fabian Ruiz exploded this summer at Euro 2024, Achraf Hakimi is one of the world's best right-backs, Gianluigi Donnarumma is a top goalkeeper in Europe, and Bradley Barcola has developed into a consistent attacking threat, amongst many others.
While European success remains the goal, the domestic campaign is considered quite important, looking to build a strong lead atop the table early on so they can shift their focus towards continental competition.
Paris Saint-Germain kicked off their campaign in dominant fashion, signaling a promising start to what is a transitional period for the club. The absence of Kylian Mbappe, who has moved on to Real Madrid, leaves a significant void, yet PSG showed no signs of faltering with a resounding 4-1 victory over Le Havre. This win has ignited optimism among the Parisian faithful, who are eager to see their team continue this momentum as they push for a second consecutive victory.
Next up, PSG face Montpellier, a team that managed a 1-1 draw against Racing Strasbourg in their opening match. While the challenge is expected to be tougher, especially at the Parc des Princes, Montpellier are hopeful of securing a positive result. The pressure is on, but confidence remains high as they prepare to take on the reigning French champions in what promises to be an exciting encounter.
