Ligue 1 leaders set to clash

The top two in Ligue 1 meet on Sunday as Montpellier travel to Paris Saint-Germain for an eagerly anticipated fixture.

PSG lead the standings with 50 points, but their opponents are just a point behind and in good form with victories in their last four league fixtures.

Montpellier are seeking their first title since 1987 and the club’s coach, Rene Girard, says his side are travelling to the Parc des Princes gunning for all three points, despite losing 3-0 in the previous league meeting between the two sides in September.

“We are going to Paris to get a result,” Girard said.

“Our target is to get the best result possible. The players feel great. Everyone is hungry. If they are all as motivated as I am, and I have no doubts about that, then you can expect us to be competitive.”
