In Saturday’s marquee Ligue 1 match, Clermont Foot (2 wins, 0 losses, 2 draws) takes on the top-ranked PSG (4-0-0). The match will be held at Parc des Princes and is set to kick off at 11 a.m. ET. Below, we preview the Clermont Foot vs. PSG odds and lines, and make our best Ligue 1 bets, picks and predictions.
After bringing in world-class F Lionel Messi, Paris St. Germain has arguably the most talented roster in the world. F Neymar and F Kylian Mbappe make up possibly the best attacking trio in the world.
While the offense is dominant, PSG gave up multiple goals in two of its four matches and is taking on a solid Clermont Foot side that’s yet to lose. That may change Saturday.
Clermont Foot scored 2 or more goals in all four of its matches, so it has a solid, thriving attack as well which could easily make this a high-scoring affair.

Prediction
PSG 3, Clermont Foot 2
Money line (ML)
PASS on Paris Saint-Germain to win. The value here is just not worth it. You’d have to bet over three units just to return one. While PSG should be favored that heavily, the gamble is a poor one.
However, a great bet is BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-120). This is a better option as both teams have scored every time out.
Clermont F Mohamed Bayo has 3 goals on the season and should be able to break through a flawed PSG defense. We’ve mentioned the power PSG has offensively.
This bet is a great value.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET on the OVER 3.5 (+112) as this game should have many goals scored. While Clermont has scored often, it has also allowed 5 goals through four games, giving up all 5 over the last two matches.
A top-five side in Ligue 1, Clermont may still struggle to slow down PSG. St. Germain scored 12 goals in four games and has put up 4 goals in a game twice.
This game has all the makings of a goal-heavy match.
