Preview: Montpellier HSC vs. Paris Saint-Germain

Sports Mole previews Friday evening's Ligue 1 meeting between Montpellier and reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Paris Saint-Germain will begin the defence of their Ligue 1 title with a trip to Montpellier HSC on Friday evening.

The reigning champions have appointed a new manager during the summer, with former France coach Laurent Blanc replacing Carlo Ancelotti, who joined Real Madrid.

Les Parisiens secured the first trophy of the new campaign on Saturday with a 2-1 victory over Bordeaux in the Trophee des Champions.

Montpellier will also have a new manager in their dugout, after Rene Girard was replaced by former Nancy coach Jean Fernandez.

Fernandez could name former PSG defender Siaka Tiene in his side, following his move from the French capital this summer. Fellow summer signings Victor Montano and Djamel Bakar are in line to start.

Blanc could hand starts to summer signings Edinson Cavani, Marquinhos and Lucas Digne.

Possible lineups

Montpellier: Jourdren; Congre, El Kaoutari, Hilton, Tiene; Mezague, Stambouli, Martin; Cabella, Herrera, Camara

PSG: Sirigu; Maxwell, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Jallet; Motta, Matuidi, Lucas, Pastore; Cavani, Ibrahimovic

Sports Mole says: 0-1
