Key Takeaways
- Clermont Foot is yet to win a game in Ligue 1
- Paris Saint-Germain has scored 14 goals in its last 5 matches
- Clermont Foot is currently bottom of the Ligue 1
Clermont Foot's current form has been a cause of concern for the manager. The game against the defending Champions is the most difficult fixture of the tournament for Clearmont. The Lancer's struggle this season shows that they have not been able to perform as per the top French league standards.
Clermont Foot From
Clermont Foot's commencement of the current season has been a disaster after ending at the 8th spot in last season's rankings. They are conceding goals very early in the game and are not able to bounce back to the opponents. A draw against Toulouse with a 2-2 scoreline in early September was not enough for them to gain confidence in Ligue 1.
With all their concern with defensive form, they also are not able to score many goals this season. Clermont Foot has been able to score only 5 goals in its 6 Ligue 1 fixtures.
Paris Saint-Germain Form
Defending Champions of Ligue 1 are hoping to defend their title with Luis Enrique. The Parisians are in excellent form upfront and able to win 4 out of the last 5 matches in Ligue 1.
Against Marseille, PSG was looking like a predator; they outclassed the one-time Champions League winner Marseille. Goncalo Ramos, Achraf Hakimi and Randall Kolo Muani scored in the last fixture against their league rivals Marseille.
Head To Head
Clermont Foot had conceded 17 goals in its last 4 matches against the French Giant PSG. In their last meetings, the Parisians won 3 out of 4 matches against the current relegation battler Clermont Foot.
Team News
Neto Borges and Yoël Armougon are still in recovery mode for Clermont. The Lancers are not missing any of the key players this weekend against PSG.
Paris Saint-Germain's top scorer, Kylian Mbappe, has a sprained ankle and will be doubtful for the fixture. Furthermore, Alexandre Letellier, Marco Ascensio, Nuno Mendes, and Sergio Rico are still out for a couple of weeks for PSG. However, Kimpembe is back in training though but will miss the game against Clermont Foot this weekend.
Key Players
Despite their lack of high performance in the Ligue 1, the Lancer’s Alidu Seidu, Muhammed Cham Saracevic and Neto Borges are some important players against the Parisians this Weekend. Alidu Seidu’s defensive efforts let Clermont restrict their opponents without further goals.
The Parisian’s top scorer will be a doubt for this weekend. Kylian Mbappe has scored 7 goals this season. With the addition of Ousmane Dembele and Randal Kolo Muani, PSG will be more than ready for the Clermont foot.
Final Thoughts
Clermont Foot's start to the season has been a nightmare for their supporters. The Lancers are lacking in both attacking and defensive areas, which gives the room of fiery Paris Saint-Germain to outclass them this weekend at Stade Gabriel-Montpied stadium
