Fixtures involving Clermont Foot have usually been exciting affairs recently with high scoring anticipated. Over their past half dozen clashes alone, the sum total of 20 goals have flown in for both teams combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 9 of these coming from Clermont Foot. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, though.

• haven't been beaten in the league by Nantes in their previous 2 matches.
• have not registered a win against Nantes in their last 4 league games.
• are without a home win in the past 2 league games.

Looking at their form, and Nantes have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 10 goals in total. Defensively, Nantes seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Nantes:

• remain unbeaten by Clermont Foot in games played away from home for the previous 4 matches in the league. A solid away record against them.
• are without an away win for the past 8 league matches. Very poor, indeed.

🗞️ Team News: Clermont Foot

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just one fitness concern for the Clermont Foot gaffer Pascal Gastien to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Maximiliano Caufriez (Injury to the ankle) is sidelined.

In all likelihood, Clermont Foot could go for a 3-4-3 system for the game featuring Mory Diaw, Alidu Seidu, Florent Ogier, Andy Pelmard, Mehdi Zeffane, Maxime Gonalons, Johan Gastien, Neto Borges, M. Saracevic, Komnen Andric and Bilal Boutobba.

🗞️ Team News: Nantes

Out of a mainly full-strength group, there is only a single fitness worry for the Nantes boss Pierre Aristouy to be concerned about. Alban Lafont (Pneumothorax) won’t be in action. Bastien Meupiyou will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We are inclined to think that Les Canaris seem most likely to make use of a 3-4-3 lineup, starting Remy Descamps, J. Castelletto, Eray Coemert, Nicolas Pallois, R. Pierre-Gabriel, Pedro Chirivella, Douglas Augusto, Quentin Merlin, Adson, Mostafa Mohamed and Moses Simon.

🧠 Prediction

In our view, Nantes will surely be able to get a goal against this Clermont Foot outfit, but it is unlikely to be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re going for a 2-1 winning margin for Clermont Foot at the end of the 90 minutes. Let’s see what happens here.
