Angers preview
The Angers team can no longer afford to lose, as it could get relegated very soon. The team has been at the bottom of the French league standings since the matchday 12 of the season, and it has now lost 10 games in a row. Indeed, it has not won since September, and on that occasion the team had pushed all the correct buttons to end up defeating Nice by a score of 0-1..
The team changed coach, and Abdel Bouhazama came in, but he doesn’t seem to be able to find the right formula for the team to work. He changed the team’s tactical setup from a more defensive 5-3-2 to a more balanced 4-2-3-1 in midfield, but not even that worked.
Angers has scored 7 goals scored in 10 matches played. To win you have to score and that’s something Angers doesn’t do. In addition that has been previously mentioned, its defense is very poor, and playing at home, it has had very poor results with 7 defeats. The new coach needs to lift the team up because with each passing defeat, the possibility of staying in the Ligue is slipping away.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Paul Bernardoni; Abdoulaye Bamba, Cedric Hountondji, Miha Blazic, Souleyman Doumbia; Nabil Bentaleb, Batista Mendy; Perrick Capelle, Adrien Hunou, Himad Abdelli; Abdallah Sima
Clermont preview
This team started the year with a bang:it achieved two victories that helped it climb into the European places, and it has already drawn on points with Lyon (whom it defeated 0-1 at the start of 2023). Clermont is on the rise and it wants its first European experience.
The idea is to climb to fifth place, from which it is 7 points away. It is not crazy to think that this team could be there among the leaders. The duo of Komnen Andric and Saif-Eddine Khaoui has produced 6 goals and 5 assists. They are leading the team in the right direction.
Playing away from home, it has a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats, but the interesting thing is that has scorred 12 goals and conceded 10 away from home. That makes it a rather uncomfortable visiting team.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Mory Diaw; Mateusz Wieteska, Maximiliano Caufriez, Alidu Seidu; Jim Allevinah, Johan Gastien, Yohann Magnin, Neto Borges; Saif Eddine-Khaoui, Elbasan Rashani; Komnen Andric
JefeBet Prediction
It is hard to believe that Angers will win. Yes, it needs to get back up on its feet, but the team is still looking for the formula that will ensure the start of more positive results. Unfortunately, we do not believe that this will be the opportunity for this team to do so.
We believe that the three points will go to Clermont, who will continue adding wins to its positive streak and put more pressure on Lyon and the mid-table.
Prediction: Angers 0-2 Clermont
