Giroud won the Ligue 1 title with La Paillade last season, before moving to the Emirates Stadium in a £12million deal during the off-season.
The north Londoners are second in what is a tight Group B, just one point ahead of Olympiacos, whom they do battle with in the final match-day fixture.
After butchering their 2-0 lead over Schalke in the last fixture, the Giroud is fully aware that the Gunners can ill-afford to lose any more ground with the group stages nearing its conclusion.
"It's a must-win match for us because Arsenal have to go through to the next phase of the competition," the 26-year-old told The Sun.
"Montpellier have nothing to lose now they are already eliminated but we have to be careful as that's when some teams are most dangerous.
"They didn't become champions of France with no talent. We must not take anything for granted when they come to the Emirates."
