Clermont Foot vs PSG Prediction and Betting Tips

Clermont Foot welcome reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to the Stade Gabriel Montpied in Ligue 1 on Saturday (September 30).

The hosts have endured a winless start to their league campaign, suffering five defeats in six games. Last week, Clermont lost 2-1 at Le Havre and remain at the bottom of the standings.

PSG, meanwhile, returned to winning ways after a 3-2 home loss to Nice with a 4-0 home win over Marseille. New signing Randal Kolo Muani scored his first league goal of the season. Goncalo Ramos also opened his account, bagging a second-half brace.

The holders are two points behind leaders Brest (13) and third in the standings after six games.

Clermont Foot vs PSG Prediction

Clermont have five defeats in six games in Ligue 1 this season, losing all three home games. They didn't score in their home meeting against the Parisians last season. Neto Borges is sidelined with an injury for Clermont.

The Parisins have won four of their last five games across competitions, scoring 15 goals and conceding five times. There are doubts about Kylian Mbappe, who was subbed off in the first half of the Marseille win due to an ankle injury.

He trained on Friday, but manager Luis Enrique is not expected to start him ahead of their UEFA Champions League clash at Newcastle United on Wednesday.

PSG have scored at least four goals in three of their last four meetings against Clermont. Considering the contrast in form between the two teams, expect the reigning champions to record a comfortable win and also keep a clean sheet.

Prediction: Clermont 0-3 PSG
