Carlo Ancelotti says that his team are not underestimating Montpellier threat.

Carlo Ancelotti has warned his players that they need to play with intensity to win their top-of-the-table clash with Montpellier HSC.

Paris Saint-Germain hold a slender one-point lead over Montpellier at the top of Ligue 1, and entertain Rene Girard's men in the weekend's stellar match.

The Italian also reiterated Rene Girard's belief that the outcome will not decide the destination of the title.

"[Montpellier] are a good team with good organisation, and are playing with confidence right now, but with our confidence and courage, we can win the match," said the 52-year-old.

"We must play with more intensity and take control of the game. Against Dijon we should have scored more goals, but offensively, I think we have improved in recent matches.

"This is a very important game but I do not think it will decide where the title will go. We still have 14 games left and they will all be vital."

Ancelotti took over at PSG in December, replacing Antoine Kombouare.
