It’s been all too rare in recent times that Clermont Foot have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Clermont Foot have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 6 goals in the process. Still, we will just have to wait and see if that pattern will be sustained in this game.

Their prior results show that Clermont Foot:

• have not emerged victorious against FC Lorient in their previous 3 matches in the league.
• are undefeated in their previous 4 league matches at home.

• haven't been defeated by Clermont Foot when they've played them away from home in the last 5 league matches. Away fans have certainly had plenty to cheer about.
