Truly defining the expression hero to zero, Clermont midfielder Salis Abdul Samed scored a peach of a long-range effort during the visit of Nantes after Saif-Eddine Khaoui had also responded to strikes from Ludovic Blas and Pedro Chirivella.

However, Randal Kolo Muani restored Nantes’ one-goal lead not long after Abdul Samed’s strike – with four goals on the day coming in a frantic 10-minute spell – and the Clermont lynchpin was then given his marching orders 20 minutes from time.

The 10 men of Clermont could not claw their way back into the game as they picked up where they left off following the international break – with a defeat. Their fourth on the bounce to be precise, and Pascal Gastien’s side are certainly in the relegation dogfight now.

With just eight games left to play this term, Clermont are surviving by the skin of their teeth in 17th spot and are comfortably five points clear of 19th-placed Metz, but Saint-Etienne are only one point behind in the relegation playoff place.

Conceding an average of three goals per game in their last four defeats does not bode well for Clermont before a meeting with runaway leaders PSG, and only Bordeaux and Metz have performed worse on home soil this term than Gastien’s leaky crop.

If Kylian Mbappe’s stock had not already risen enough this term, having a hand in all five of his side’s goals against Lorient saw the Real Madrid target send a clear message to the PSG hierarchy amid renewed optimism surrounding a possible new deal.

Each member of Mauricio Pochettino’s star-studded front three got in on the act against Lorient, with Neymar and Mbappe both bagging braces alongside Lionel Messi’s third Ligue 1 goal of the season, and Lorient’s only consolation via Terem Moffi came courtesy of a defensive lapse from Les Parisiens.

While a torrid March saw PSG dumped out of the Champions League and humbled in a 3-0 loss to Monaco, Pochettino’s side came out all guns blazing against a formerly resilient Lorient side and are comfortably 12 points clear of Marseille at the summit.

PSG’s prowess at the Parc des Princes is never up for debate, but Pochettino’s side travel to Clermont having rather alarmingly lost each of their last four on the road in all competitions, and only one of their last seven away matches in Ligue 1 has ended in victory.

Furthermore, not since October’s Classique draw with Marseille have Les Parisiens kept a clean sheet away from home in the top flight, but they breezed past Clermont 4-0 back in September in the capital, and now is as good a time as any to improve a surprisingly poor away streak.
