Betting Tips for Today: PSG's fragile defence set for another tough outing against Montpellier

Paris Saint-Germain have retained their Ligue 1 crown but things have not been plain sailing for Thomas Tuchel's side elsewhere.

Knocked out of the Champions League at the last 16 stage by Manchester United, the Parisians have continued their disappointing forays into European competition.

Saturday saw PSG lose the Coupe de France final to Rennes on penalties and Neymar's off-field antics have only added to the frustration.

With just one win in their last five matches in all competitions, Tuchel's men are 10/11 (1.91) with 888Sport to beat Montpellier on Tuesday night.

The home side are 5/2 (3.50) to come out on top with the draw trading at 11/4 (3.75) with the same firm.

Even at 10/11 (1.91) it's tough to trust PSG and the value is surely in opposing a side that are stumbling towards the end of the campaign.

Montpellier have won three of their last four Ligue 1 games and have been climbing towards the European places.

One of PSG's main issues of late has been a fragile backline. The reigning champions have conceded 13 times in the last five games in all competitions.

In four of those the opposing team netted two or more and Montpellier are available at 17/10 (2.70) to extend that streak in this game.

Both teams to score is just 4/7 (1.57) and landed in the reverse fixture between the teams, which ended 5-1 to PSG. This time around though, they look much more vulnerable and taking a chance on a bigger price is the best approach at the current odds.

Considering the home team are in fine form and have plenty to play for, they look worth backing to inflict more pain on PSG's stuttering defence by scoring twice or more at 17/10 (2.70).
