Paris Saint-Germain will lift their record 11th Ligue 1 title after this weekend’s match against Clermont Foot.
Christophe Galtier’s side secured top spot with a 1-1 draw at Strasbourg last week, ensuring they can play out the final day of the French season with little drama.
Lionel Messi will play his final game for PSG ahead of his exit on a free transfer, with a decision on his future expected to be made next week.
Clermont have had an unbelievable season punching above their weight and enter the final matchday sitting eighth in the table.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of this one.

Clermont have no injury concerns heading into the game.
(3-4-3): Diaw; Seidu, Wieteska, Caufriez; Zeffane, Fastien, Magnin, Borges; Saracevic, Kyei, Rashani
PSG and Clermont have only met three times in their respective histories, with all of their encounters coming in the last two years.
Understandably, Les Parisiens have won each match – once by four goals and twice by five goals – and there’s no reason to think that trend will change.
When PSG are coasting, they’re often at their free-flowing best. Add in that this is Messi’s send-off and Kylian Mbappe is trying to fend off Alexandre Lacazette for the Golden Boot and they should have enough motivation not to completely sail through this one too.
Prediction: PSG 4-0 Clermont Foot
