Team News

Clermont Foot
PSG
  • Clermont's XI is somewhat challenging to predict. The Auvergne side have had a busy summer, even if several key players remain.
  • That said, don't expect a shift in personnel to see manager Pascal Gastien move away from his preferred 4-2-3-1.
  • Grejohn Kyei and Saïf-Eddine Khaoui are also options across the forward line.
  • Former Lyon midfielder Maxime Gonalons is making his return to France, and is likely to partner Johan Gastien in midfield.
  • Kylian Mbappé's return from suspension should be the only change to the side that started the Trophée des Champions.
  • Pablo Sarabia will drop to the bench with Mbappé once again available.
  • Summer signing Vitinha is expected to be the only new face as Christophe Galtier seems to be ready to set out his stall with a 3-4-3.

Prediction

  • Clermont were well-organised, but overly reliant on the goal of Mohamed Bayo last season. Without the Guinean, expect the hosts to struggle here.
  • Even if PSG seemed to have had a bit of a joyride in pre-season with their Japanese tour, their sharpness against Nantes in the Trophée des Champions showed they will be again be good value for a result any given week in the league.

  • Without Mbappe Messi-Neymar is Rising

  • Messi is my daddy

  • @Reconquest Haha

  • Miles better than Pochettino's PSG.

  • I had lost 1000 euro on Liverpool. Won back 700 with this game, thank you Paris. What a difference between Clermont and Fulham. The Brits just throw 11 players behind the ball and lock down, compared to the gigantic holes in Clermont's defense and midfield.

  • 3 defenders formation is perfect for Hakimi, and there u go first game first goal

  • It's going to be exciting watching This new version of PSG and how they will all get along but I suspect Messi will be the Barcelona version of himself, although his finishing still needs to sharpen but I think this will be his season.

  • @gamerater Getting rid of Pochettino will be the best thing to ever happen to this side. Waste of space who was holding this team back.

  • 0-4

  • Neymar - Mabppe - Messi
