Clermont take on the visitors PSG in the round 7 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, September 30th at Stade Gabriel Montpied (Clermont-Ferrand).
Clermont will try to establish themselves in the middle of Ligue 1 for the third consecutive year. The previous season was more cohesive for the hosts compared to their debut in Ligue 1, as Gastien's team secured a respectable 8th place. Unfortunately, the current season's start is far from successful. The red and blue team has only earned 1 point in 6 matches and currently sits at the bottom of the table. Gastien is unlikely to be sacked as this is his final season as a professional football coach, having built this team from scratch. His son is part of the squad, carrying forward his ideas, but the results are currently not impressive. Recent matches include a 1-2 loss to Havre, a 0-1 loss to Nantes at home, a 0-1 loss to Metz, a 0-2 loss to Reims, and a 2-4 loss to Monaco. They only managed to draw 2-2 with Toulouse. Clermont's romantic attacking style of play in their third year in Ligue 1 has yet to bring success.

The French champions are gradually finding their form under the guidance of Luis Enrique. They have started to win more consistently, and this week, Mbappe and company could add to their positive streak. They began their Champions League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund and then went on to crush Marseille 4-0 in a crucial match, leaving their opponent without a coach in the first half. Their trip to Clermont to face the cheerful hosts is aimed at strengthening the positive results from the past week.
PSG, currently in the top three and ready to take the leadership burden in the league, faces an opponent that is struggling and continues to concede goals. However, Clermont's attack is not functioning well. Given PSG's superior quality and the fact that their form is improving, they should be able to dominate their opponent. In previous seasons, PSG defeated Clermont away with scores of 5-0 and 6-1, and the conditions for a similar result seem even more favorable now.
Prediction for the match: PSG to win and Over 1.5 scored goals.
