Paris St-Germain are finishing the season in somewhat of a state of disarray despite clinching their sixth Ligue 1 title in the last seven years.

They blew a 2-0 lead to lose the Coupe de France final on penalties to Rennes on Saturday, ending their four-year stranglehold of the competition.

Kylian Mbappe saw red for a poor tackle and Neymar was embroiled in an altercation with a fan, heaping further pressure on manager Thomas Tuchel with ill-discipline a hallmark of their recent performances.

They've now won only one of their last five matches, conceding 13 goals in the process with injuries to Thiago Silva and Thomas Meunier taking a toll.

Montpellier's pair of double-figure goalscorers Andy Delort and Gaetan Laborde will fancy their chances of inflicting more damage.

PSG's demise in the cup final was bad news for sixth-placed Montpellier as it means the European places will only extend to fourth but they will be high on confidence having won three of their last four.

They were particularly impressive last week when a Delort double helped them to a comfortable 3-1 win at Strasbourg and they can play their part in what promises to be an entertaining clash.

Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score has copped in each of PSG's last five games and, with the recent return to fitness of Angel Di Maria, Edinson Cavani and Neymar compensating for the suspension to Mbappe, both teams have the firepower to maintain that streak.

Recommendation
Over 2.5 goals & both teams to score
1pt 20-21 bet365
