In the latest round of action in Lens, Clermont, two key players from Openda and Fofana have come together to close in on Paris.

Openda's star striker, Thierry Henry, has scored three goals in his last four games, while Fofana, who is also in form, has netted three times already this season.

Both players were instrumental in helping Clermont secure their first win of the season against Montpellier at home earlier this week.

However, the French champions will be looking to build upon their success by securing a crucial win over Paris Saint-Germain in their next fixture.

"Openda and Fofana are definitely a match made in heaven for us," said Clermont coach Patrick Ménard after the match. "We've had a good run of form recently and I'm confident that we can keep it going."

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain's defense has been struggling lately, with injuries hampering their ability to create chances. However, they are well-positioned to bounce back against Clermont, who have struggled to find the back of the net so far this season.

"We're confident that we'll be able to take advantage of the strengths of Clermont," said PSG manager Thomas Tuchel. "They're a very strong side and we know how tough it is to play them when you don't score goals."

Despite the challenges ahead, both teams have shown great resilience and determination throughout the season. With a win over Paris Saint-Germain in hand, Clermont will look to continue building momentum and securing their place in the top half of the table.
