Paris Saint Germain - Clermont predictions

The betting odds alone should tell you enough about which side is going to win this showdown. With a home win priced at 1.18, Paris Saint Germain are almost guaranteed to come out on top – probably with a notable goal margin as well.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Paris Saint Germain and the 16.50 odds given to Clermont to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

Paris Saint Germain are coming on the back of a decisive away win at Olympique Marseille, secured largely thanks to multiple consecutive goals in the second half. Most Ligue 1 betting predictions considered them the favourites at kick-off, but the 0:2 goal difference exceeded most expectations.

Clermont are coming off from a crushing 0:3 defeat at their previous away game. The match was a largely one-sided affair. Top online bookmakers heavily favoured Toulouse, who took the lead in the first half and went on to take home 3 points towards the Ligue 1 title.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Paris Saint Germain and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

Our confidence in Clermont and, more specifically, their defenses, is shaky at best. After more than 5 concessions in three consecutive home games, most bookies and pundits see them as unreliable.

Paris Saint Germain are holding on to their top position of the Ligue 1 table. They’ll be looking to further strengthen their position this Saturday. The season is slowly entering its final stages, and every point is important if they want to get their hands on the trophy.

Desperation must be setting in over at the Clermont camp as we move into round 28. At 18th place, they are at risk of being relegated. Even worse, their odds of earning points against the current opposition are quite low.

Paris Saint Germain have had the chance to play against Clermont several times this season, albeit not always as part of the Ligue 1. The matchup recorded several draws and failed to produce a winner so far, but the favourites Paris Saint Germain are hoping to finally gain a clear advantage over their opponents.

Based on the information available, a Draw/Home in the HT/FT market is a more likely outcome than the 1.18 odds are implying. It’s still a risky bet to take, but it offers strong value.
