The countdown to another Ligue 1 title is on for PSG ahead of their home game against Clermont. This Saturday game pits the bottom placed side – Clermont – against the league leaders. PSG need 12 more points to secure the 2023/24 league title. Having registered 18 wins in their opening 27 matches, it will be a shocker to lose to the bottom placed side. The French giants have only lost once this season, and it was at home to Nice in September. With 21 points still to play for, they are 12 points ahead of their closest challenger, Brest. Ahead of this game, PSG warmed up with a 1-0 win over Rennes in the French Cup semis. That win kept their treble hopes alive but here a return to winning ways at home in the league will dominate. Les Parisiens have had two straight draws at home in Ligue 1, and managed just one win in the last four. In their last two meetings with Clermont, they left without a win and will be wary of their threat coming here.

In this corresponding fixture last season, Clermont beat PSG 3-2. They would then draw 0-0 with PSG in the reverse fixture this season. How the visitors would want to replicate that form against their rampant hosts. While PSG are strolling to the league title, Clermont are seven points below the safety line. Every game now matters for Clermont and they have very little room for error. One win only in 10 matches across all competition, however goes against their wishes at this point of the season. Clermont have lost eight times in their last 15 matches in Ligue 1. In that run, they posted just two wins. Three times in their last five league matches, they failed to score. They were poor in their last match, a 3-0 loss to Toulouse, making it three away matches in four that they failed to score.
