PSG vs Clermont Predictions

• PSG have won 18 of their last 25 matches, going unbeaten in that time
• Clermont are on a run of five defeats in eight league outings
• The Parisians have seen five of their last seven home Ligue 1 games contain 4+ goals

A case of when, not if, for PSG

It is difficult to see how this game goes any way other than a PSG win, as the hosts seek to extend their lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table.

Luis Enrique’s side are cruising at the moment, picking up 18 wins over an unbeaten 25 game period across all competitions, scoring a whopping 65 goals in the process!

Indeed, half of those 18 victories have contained four or more goals, as have five of their last seven top flight fixtures at the Parc des Princes, where they have scored 33 times this season – more home goals than any other team in the division.

Clermont look up against it

There likelihood is that PSG will keep that run going against a visiting team who are bottom of Ligue 1 and have accumulated merely 20 points from 27 outings, less than a third of their opponent’s total!

Pascal Gastien’s side are therefore very much at risk of being relegated back to the second tier, not helped by a run of five defeats from their last eight outings.

There are 5-1, 4-0 and 3-1 losses to Marseille, Lille and Rennes during that period, conceding 46 times in total across the season – only Lorient have a worse defensive record.

I predict that PSG will win this match with 4+ goals across the course of the game, selecting 3-1 as a correct score prediction.
