Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Paris FC should have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.
In contrast, Clermont Foot won’t find it easy to score themselves although we do think that they will probably end up hitting back at some stage here, too.
We’re therefore expecting to see a controlled 3-1 winning margin for Paris FC at the end of this one.
