Handball: 3 things to know before Montpellier-PSG

2020-12-16T05:16:58.287Z


Winner on Sunday in Nantes, the capital club will travel this Wednesday (8:45 p.m.) to Montpellier, another team still undefeated in the champion


The week of all dangers continues for PSG.

After a successful first test (24-26) in Nantes last Sunday, the leader once again moves to one of the title contenders (8:45 p.m.).

Montpellier, only 2nd in the standings, will try everything to bring down the Parisians, who for the moment have a perfect record of ten victories in ten games.

Montpellier not so far

Of course, Paris is full.

But Montpellier is far from having said its last word.

Patrice Canayer's men are six lengths behind, but they still have two games (Ivry and Aix) to catch up, or four possible points.

The winner of the Champions League (2018) also has a particularity that he shares with PSG: it is the only undefeated team in the competition (7V, 2N).

Advantage Paris

A success of the players in the capital will tip the championship a little more in its balance, but it will still be far from definitive.

If we refer to the most recent seasons, PSG remain on four consecutive victories.

The last victory of Montpellier dates back to December 2017 (33-30).

And as the two teams have the most prolific goal average (36 for Paris, 30 for their opponent), there is no risk of getting bored in Bougnol.

Back to the source for Mathieu Grébille

Arrival from the Hérault this summer in Paris, a year after Vincent Gérard, the 29-year-old French international has spent his entire career in Montpellier, where he turned pro in 2009. It is the first time he is opposed to his old club: "It will make me weird," smiles the native of the capital.

I am already happy to find my former partners.

I will be keen to show them that I did well to come here!
