PSG vs Clermont Prediction & Match Preview

Top of the table meets the very bottom on Saturday evening. PSG host Clermont in a Matchday No 28 fixture at Parc des Princes. On paper, this should be as one-sided affair as it can get. Can Clermont prove us wrong?

• PSG are unbeaten in 25 games across competitions.
• Clermont go into this off the back of three losses in the last four league outings.
• The Parisians bagged eleven goals in the last three wins in all competitions.

PSG are sovereign Ligue 1 leaders with a 12-poingt advantage on 2nd-placed Brest. This tie against the rock-bottomed Clermont comes just in between two important games. Les Parisiens faced Rennes in the Coupe de France semi-finals on Wednesday and they also play host to Barcelona in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals next Wednesday.

We thus certainly expect Luis Enrique to mix up his starting lineup for the home match with Clermont. Do not get us wrong, the Parisians are still huge favourites to get the win regardless of the starting XI. Clermont need a miracle to prevent the drop to Ligue 2 football next season.

Pascal Gastien’s men are six points shy of Lorient who currently hold the relegation playoffs position. Nevertheless, their recent form does not even promise any sort of a potential battle in the remaining seven rounds. Clermont looked dreadful in a 0-3 home defeat to Toulouse last weekend.

Interestingly, Clermont held PSG to a goalless draw in the return match played in September last year at Stade Gabriel-Montpied.

Clermont have also picked up a shocking 3-2 victory in their previous visit to Parc des Princes in June last year.

Three of the last four H2H matches between these rivals provided five or more goals.

PSG vs Clermont Prediction

Luis Enrique will shift things around in his roster for the match against Clermont. Nevertheless, the Parisians have an outstanding array of world-class players in their ranks. Regardless of who gets the nod on Saturday, the hosts are enormous favourites to claim the spoils in this game.

Clermont have not been pulling up any trees of late. They travel to the capital off the back of three defeats in the last four matches. Gastien’s troops found the back of the net just once in the previous four away outings in the league. We’ll back PSG to win by three or more goals difference at the 2.15 odds.

Clermont’s defence looked horrendous last Sunday against Toulouse. They are now up against the most lethal attacking line in the country. We expect PSG to remove all doubts about the winner of the match by the half-time break. You can thus back the Over 1.5 goals in the first half pick at the 1.83 odds.
