Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Over 3 goals – 1.56
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: PSG to win the first half – 1.75
PSG -1.5 Goals Handicap
In their last six wins of the previous Ligue 1 season, PSG covered the -1.5 goals handicap in five of them. Clermont meanwhile while playing against the top seven teams, failed against the suggested handicap in six of 14 matches.
Over 3 Goals
Three or more goals were scored in PSG’s last four preseason matches. Moreover, in the two meetings between Clermont and PSG, four or more goals were scored. In addition, Clermont’s last five home games in Ligue 1 produce the same number of goals.
PSG to Win the First Half
Nine times out of 19 PSG were winning at halftime when playing on the road last season. Clermont on the other side were losing at halftime in 17 matches and eight when playing at home.
Clermont finished the Ligue 1 last campaign in the 17th position and escaped relegation despite losing their final two games in the league. The Lancers had very contradicting results last season like beating second-placed Marseille and losing to relegated Saint Etienne in both matches.
Playing their opening game against PSG won’t be favorable by coach Pascal Gastien as they lost Le Parisien by 6-1 and 4-0. However, Gastien must be relaxed with his team’s preseason results after winning their last three games beating Ligue 1 outfits like Toulouse and Montpellier along the way.
Reigning champions PSG are used to winning the Ligue 1 title in recent years and their main aim is to succeed in the Champions League. Les Parisiens lifted their tenth league title last term and fourth in the last five seasons.
With newly appointed coach Christophe Galtier having all the stars of last season at his disposal will be under pressure from day one. Lionel Messi was brought to the club to win the UCL but that didn’t work out. Hence the trio of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe have a lot of work to do to first retain their title and second win Europe’s most prestigious trophy.
The odds for a PSG win at helabet is 1.36 which is obviously quite low given the fact that the champions are expected to win. Hence, in order to obtain a better return for our stake and withstanding any surprises, we will back PSG to cover the -1.5 goals handicap.

Three times last season Clermont lost by the score of 1-2 at home and once with 1-3. PSG, meanwhile had two away matches end with the result of 1-2 and one with 1-3. Thus, with odds of 3.40 at helabet, we will bet the correct score group bet of 1-2, 1-3. 1-4.
At the start of the new season, Clermont will start their campaign with a fully fit squad which enables coach Pascal Gastien to select his best team.
On PSG’s side, the only injury is Julian Drexler who is suffering from a knee injury and is expected to return in mid-August.
Clermont: Diaw, Kamdem, Billong, Ogier, Borges, Magnin, Berthomier, Gastien, Khaoui, Kyei, Dossou.
PSG: Donnarumma, Ramos, Marqinhos, Kimpembe, Hakimi, Veratti, Vitinha, Mendes, Messi, Mbappe, Neymar.
