PSG vs Clermont Prediction & Preview

In an intriguing clash between top and bottom, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will host Clermont at the Parc des Princes in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

PSG’s Recent Form:

PSG is riding high on confidence after a fantastic win against Marseille in Le Classique last weekend. Despite being reduced to 10 men, they rallied in the second half to secure a 2-0 victory.

With a 12-point lead over second-placed Brest, PSG is inching closer to the title. They are currently on a 22-game unbeaten streak in Ligue 1.

However, defensively, they’ve conceded in their last seven league matches at home, which they’ll need to address ahead of their Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona.

Clermont’s Struggles:

On the other hand, Clermont finds themselves in dire straits. They are the only club in Europe’s top 10 leagues yet to score 20 goals this season.

Their recent 3-0 loss to Toulouse has increased the likelihood of relegation. Clermont currently sits seven points from safety, and their survival chances are slim.

Last season, they managed to defeat PSG in this fixture, coming from 2-0 down to win 3-2 on the final day.

Prediction:

Given the contrasting form, PSG is the clear favorite. I predict a 3-0 win for PSG in this encounter. Clermont faces an uphill battle, and PSG’s lethal attacking line could prove too much for them.

Expect PSG to assert their dominance early in the match and secure a comfortable victory by halftime.
