Paris Saint-Germain is hosting Clermont Foot 63 at Parc des Princes in round 5 of the French Ligue 1. PSG has won all 4 of their Ligue 1 games so far, and they have scored at least 2 goals in each of those games. Clermont is the biggest surprise so far this season, and they are undefeated in their first 4 games.

PSG is the super team this season with Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe, but this will be the first game where all three of them are expected to be in the starting lineup. PSG is at the top of Ligue 1 with 12 points, 12 scored goals, and 5 conceded goals. In their last game against Reims on the road, PSG was the dominant team with 67% of ball possession, 3 shots on goal, 3 corner kicks, 3 big chances created, and 89% of the correct passes. Mbappe was the man of the match here with 2 scored goals, 1 in each half, and PSG has won this game 0-2. With 4 goals so far, Mbappe is the leading goalscorer for PSG, while Icardi added 2 goals, but he is injured. Mbappe has also added 3 assists. Bernat, DAgba, Letellier, Ramos, and Kurzawa are also injured for PSG. I think PSG will dominantly win the title this season, but their goal is the Champions League, and with Messi on the roster, it might just happen.

Clermont is in great form, but we will see how this international break will impact that. Clermont has 2 wins and 2 draws so far this season, and they are now in 3rd place with 8 points, 9 scored goals, and 5 conceded goals. In the first two games, Clermont has kept two clean sheets, but in their last two games, Clermont has conceded 5 goals. In their last game against Metz at home, Clermont was the better team with 60% of ball possession, 4 shots on goal, 6 corner kicks, 2 big chances created, and 2% of the correct passes. By the 29th minute, Clermont was losing 0-2, but with goals in the 35th and the 58th minute, Clermont has tied the score, and they were able to get a draw out of this game. Magnin and Phojo are both injured, and they will most likely miss this game for Clermont. Bayo and Rashani have each scored 3 goals for Clermont so far this season, while Dossou added 1 goal. Yes, Clermont has started this season really well, but we will see for how long Clermont can stay in this good form.

This is the first game between PSG and Clermont, and honestly, I don’t think Clermont will have a good time. Yes, Clermont is in good form, but their defense has started to decline before the international break, and that is something PSG will use.
