PSG will seek victory against the bottom team in Ligue 1
By Oscar Cortes
As the leader of Ligue 1, PSG will focus this stage of the season on other competitions, as evidenced in the case of the French Cup, where to reach the final, they used their star-studded squad in the match against Stade de Rennes.
In this case, for Matchday 27 of Ligue 1, they will rest several of their players, as the UEFA Champions League encounter is scheduled for April 10th.
Clermont visits PSG at Parc des Princes with a clear goal, which is to move out of the relegation zone. However, in this encounter between the league leader and the bottom-placed team, there is a clear favorite to clinch victory.
Nevertheless, it's worth noting that in Matchday 7 of this season's Ligue 1, both teams faced each other resulting in a 0-0 draw, showing PSG's erratic performance and Clermont's strong position in the match.
The history between PSG and Clermont in recent years
PSG's advantage over this team in their recent encounters favors them to secure the victory, even when playing with an alternate lineup.
It's expected that Kylian Mbappe, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, and Vitinha will rest for this match. In the last 5 years, they've faced each other 5 times, with only 1 victory for Clermont and 3 for PSG, with just one draw between the two clubs.
This matchday could bring PSG, led by Luis Enrique, closer to winning Ligue 1, with a few more matches to go. While their closest rival, Brest, has had a fantastic season, they are 12 points behind Paris Saint-Germain, indicating clear dominance by the Parisians this season.
It's expected to see them crowned champions with at least 4 matchdays remaining in the championship.
