PSG vs. Montpellier Postponed Due to 'Gilets Jaunes' Protest Fears

Paris Saint-Germain's home match against Montpellier in Ligue 1 on Saturday has been postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date. 

Per Get French Football News, due to ongoing protests in Paris, there can be no guarantee of enough security at the Parc des Princes for the encounter:

Anti-government protests turned violent at the weekend in the French capital and left more than 130 people injured, per CNBC: 

PSG drew away at Bordeaux on Sunday—their first dropped points of the season in Ligue 1—and they are on the road again to face Strasbourg on Wednesday.

They were supposed to be back at home for Saturday's meeting with Montpellier, who are second in Ligue 1, but it has been decided it is too big a risk for the fixture to go ahead.

Per Goal's Robin Bairner, in purely footballing terms, the postponement is good news for Thomas Tuchel's PSG:

It means they will have almost a week to prepare for next Tuesday's crucial UEFA Champions League encounter with Red Star Belgrade.

PSG could still advance from Group C even if they lose at the Marakana, but a victory will guarantee their passage through to the last 16 and would give them an excellent chance of topping the pool.
