Women's PSG: a shock against Montpellier to continue the good series

The objective is clear: fall asleep on equal points with OL at the top of the championship.

PSG receives Montpellier at the Camp des Loges this Friday evening (9 p.m.) in order to put (a little) pressure on the Lyonnaises who will travel to Saint-Étienne on Saturday afternoon (2.30 p.m.).

Even if a bankruptcy of OL at the bottom of the first division seems unlikely, the Parisians have every intention of believing in it until the end, seven days before the end of the season.

For the reigning French champions, the poster against Montpellier is a shock to be negotiated well.

Already twice this season, the players of Didier Ollé-Nicolle have beaten the Héraultaises.

Early September in the league (1-0), not without difficulty.

And last week (3-1), in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France, with more ease, thanks to goals from Marie Katoto, Grace Geyoro and Kheira Hamraoui.

Three players who should start again this Friday evening against MHSC.

Nineteen players were called up by the staff for this meeting against the 5th in D1, including the Swedish Amanda Ilestedt, back from injury.

The central defender should find a starting place alongside Poland's Paulina Dudek.

Not summoned to the Coupe de France in a group limited to 16 members, Aminata Diallo is also making her return this Friday evening.

In 24 games this season in all competitions, the Parisiennes have lost only once, on the lawn of Lyon (6-1), against 23 victories.

In 2022, after difficult months linked to the management of the Hamraoui affair, they managed to find a second wind: in the last six games, Katoto's teammates scored 26 goals against three conceded.

A real good momentum to continue before starting the decisive part of the season.

Before the end of March, PSG must negotiate a Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich (March 22 and 30) as well as a Coupe de France semi-final against Fleury (March 27).
