Aiming to continue their perfect start to the 2021-22 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain welcome fellow high-flyers Clermont to the Parc des Princes on Saturday afternoon.

Mauricio Pochettino's side eased past Reims 2-0 two weeks ago on a day where Lionel Messi made his first appearance in blue, while the visitors' impressive start continued with a 2-2 draw against Metz.

We say: Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 Clermont


PSG's attack will be a far cry from the star-studded strikeforce we will soon be accustomed to seeing at the Parc des Princes, but Pochettino should still rely on some world-beaters in midfield and defence this weekend.

Clermont's remarkable start to the season must be applauded, but we expect the newly-promoted outfit to suffer their first defeat in Ligue 1 during what may be a closer affair than it would initially look on paper.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Monaco vs. Marseille (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Monaco will host Marseille on Saturday night, and the home side will be looking to build on their first league win of the season, that they achieved just before the international break.

For the visitors, they have accumulated seven points from their first three games and are looking to continue their unbeaten start to the league at the weekend.

We say: Monaco 2-2 Marseille


Monaco will be aware that Marseille are susceptible defensively, but the home side must also be cautious as Marseille will always threaten.

Despite Payet not being available to the visitors, there still should be a feast of goals in this clash and an open encounter can be expected.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
