Ligue 1 champion-elect Paris Saint-Germain hosts bottom-of-the-table Clermont in a battle between little and large
Top takes on bottom in the Ligue 1 stakes on Saturday when champion-in-waiting Paris Saint-Germain will look to dampen Clermont’s spirit in its battle to preserve a place in France’s top flight. Les Parisiens are on a high after beating Rennes 1-0 on Wednesday to earn a spot opposite Lyon in the Coup de France final, with a treble of trophies still on the cards this season if all goes to plan. Luis Enrique’s side need just three more wins to guarantee the Ligue 1 crown with seven games to go this season, and a home meeting with Les Lanciers is about as close as one can get to a sure thing.

Enrique’s first season at the Parc des Princes had a few bumps to start, but PSG has gone on to resurrect its most dominant self in search of what could still be a historic end to the campaign.
The French powerhouse is set to face off against Enrique’s former employer, Barcelona, in the Champions League quarter-finals but can take another giant leap toward Ligue 1 glory prior to that.
The manager may even consider rotating his options after a narrow victory over Rennes, where Kylian Mbappe bagged his 39th goal in as many matches this season to advance:
Then again, PSG would be wise to not underestimate the team that held it to a 0-0 stalemate when these clubs clashed in September.
Not to mention the fact Clermont won 3-2 when it last visited the Parc des Princes last June, toppling the titan of Ligue 1 on the last day of the season when the title was already decided.
However, a return of just one win from its last 10 games in all competitions will have Pascal Gastien’s side sweating ahead of Saturday’s trip, with the club seven points from safety as things stand.
Regional restrictions may apply.
