Paris Saint-Germain and Clermont will face each other in Ligue 1 this weekend. The match between Christophe Galtier’s side and Pascal Gastien’s team will be held at Parc des Princes and is scheduled to kick off at 8pm UK time on Saturday.
Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain are the biggest club in France and are also the most dominant team in the country. PSG have already won the Ligue 1 title this season and have nothing to play for on the final day of the campaign.
PSG have picked up 85 points from 37 matches. The French giants have collected four more points than Lens, who are guaranteed of ending up second in the standings. PSG’s bitter rivals Marseille are way back in third with 73 points from 37 games. It was not always easy for PSG in Ligue 1 this season, but like they have done on more than one occasion under the ownership of Qatar Sports Investments, they got the job done in the end.
Christophe Galtier’s side will head into the Ligue 1 match against Clermont at Parc des Princes on Saturday evening on the back of a 1-1 draw with Strasbourg away from home in the league. It came after a 2-1 victory over Auxerre away from home in Ligue 1 and followed a 5-0 hammering of Ajaccio in front of their own fans in the league.
Team News:
Paris Saint-Germain head coach Christophe Galtier has already said that Lionel Messi will leave at the end of the season. This means that the Argentina forward is likely to play his final game for PSG against Clermont. Neymar is injured and is not available. Kylian Mbappe should start for the home team as well.
Clermont
Just like Paris Saint-Germain, Clermont’s season is finished as well. There is nothing to play for Pascal Gastien’s team on the final day of the campaign, and it is very likely that the players will be thinking of their upcoming vacation.
Clermont are eighth in the Ligue 1 table at the moment with 56 points from 37 matches. Les Lanciers are a point above ninth-placed Nice and six points behind seventh-placed Lyon. Clermont are guaranteed to finish in the top half of the standings this campaign, and that is a big achievement for a club who ended up as low as 17th in the Ligue 1 table last season.
Pascal Gastien’s side will head into the Ligue 1 match against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday evening on the back of a 2-0 victory over Lorient at home in Ligue 1. It came after a 2-1 loss at the hands of Brest on the road in the league and followed a 2-1 victory over Lyon at home in Ligue 1 team.
Team News:
Clermont are likely to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation. Diaw will start in goal for the home team, while Kyei will lead the line. Maurer and Khaoui will be the two attacking midfielders.
