Paris Saint-Germain
Possible line-up (3-4-1-2): Gianluigi Donnarumma; Ramos, Kimpembe, Marquinhos; Hakimi, Vitinha, Verratti, Mendes; Messi. Walls, Neymar.
Paris Saint-Germain will start its life under new coach Christophe Galtier with a trip away to Clermont-Foot to start his Ligue 1 campaign, the French giant finished top of the league table last season after losing the Lille title the previous season.
But their previous career was marred by their failure to win the Champions League, which forced them to change into the managerial seat. PSG have also managed to hold on to Kylian Mbappe, who looks set to move to Real Madrid this summer.
PSG have been fantastic in pre-season, winning all four of their friendlies. They also defeated Nantes 4-0 in the Champions Cup to start their new season at the highest level. PSG will want to maintain their form and defend the Ligue 1 title, while winning the Champions League remains their ultimate prize.
With Kylian Mbappe absent, Lionel Messi will definitely be the player to watch for in the match. The Argentine arrived on a free transfer from Barcelona last summer but failed to land in France, finishing the league with just six goals.
Claremont
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Diao; Seidu, Wieteska, Ogier, and Borges; Justin, Gonalons. Dossou, Berthomeir, Allevinah; Andric.
Clermont has a completely different set of goals after finishing 17th last season. He will be excited to retain their first division status for another season, and there will be no better start than scoring against PSG on opening day.
Claremont Foot was generally positive pre-season, winning four of its six games. Claremont’s last friendly match against Montpellier ended with a 1-0 win on July 31. They will want to continue in the same vein with the start of the Ligue 1 season.
