Clermont Foot

LWLDDL

Clermont Foot will be hoping for a better result following a 1-0 Ligue 1 losing effort in their last game against RC Lens.

In that game, Clermont Foot had 52% possession and 8 shots at goal with 1 on target. On the other side, Lens got 17 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Florian Sotoca (3') scored for RC Lens.

Clermont Foot have really struggled up front in more recent games. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 4 vs opposition teams over their last six matches. In those meetings, Clermont Foot have also seen the number of goals that have gone against them total 8. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, though.

Heading into this contest, Clermont Foot haven’t won at home in the past 2 matches in the league.

Reims

DWDDLL

Following on from a loss in their previous game against Montpellier in Ligue 1 competition, Reims will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, Reims had 53% possession and 22 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for Reims was Emmanuel Agbadou (66'). Montpellier had 12 shots at goal with 5 on target. Modibo Sagnan (26') and Mousa Tamari (87') scored for Montpellier.

Reims have been a threat going forward leading up to this encounter, scoring 7 goals in their last 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Reims have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 5 of those same clashes.

Their past results show that Reims:

• have not beaten Clermont Foot when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 league games.
• are without a win away from home in their last 3 league matches.

🗞️ Team News: Clermont Foot

The Clermont Foot boss Pascal Gastien doesn’t have any fitness concerns to speak of before this match owing to a fully injury-free group available for selection.

It looks as if Clermont Foot will possibly employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game and select Mory Diaw, Andy Pelmard, Chrislain Matsima, Maximiliano Caufriez, Neto Borges, Johan Gastien, Yohann Magnin, Muhammed Cham, Habib Keita, Elba Rashani and Alan Virginius.

📰 Team News: Reims

Out of a mainly available group of players, there’s only a single fitness problem for the Reims manager Will Still to contend with. Joseph Okumu (Groin injury) misses out for this game.

There’s a good chance that Les rouges et blancs seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Yehvann Diouf, Therence Koudou, Emmanuel Agbadou, Yunis Abdelhamid, Sergio Akieme, Amir Richardson, Marshall Munetsi, Junya Ito, Reda Khadra, Keito Nakamura and Oumar Diakite.
