Betting on Clermont
Clermont has been doing quite well, climbing positions and with European places on the horizon, but the team has now gone 5 matches without being able to attain a win, and it has suffered three defeats in a row. The opponents understood how Pascal Gastien’s team plays. The last three defeats the team has suffered, hurt. In fact, Clermont was three points away from European competitions, and now the team has fallen to the 12th place in the standings.
What is worrisome about these losses is that it appears the team has depleted its resources and now it lacks the necessary tools to succeed. It has not scored goals in three matches, and it has conceded six. But that is not the only problem, its offense has not been performing well either. The team averages about 10 shots per game, but only 5 of those are on target. It needs to improve its offense soon.
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Mory Diaw; Cheick Konate, Materusz Wieteska, Florent Ogier; Jim Allevinah, Yohann Magnin, Elbasan Rashani, Neto Borges; Muhammed Cham Saracevic, Aiman Maurer; Grejohn Kyei.
Betting on Strasbourg
Strasbourg has been at the edge of the relegation zone for several games, but the team managed to win in its last match played against Angers and got out of that position. Now, the team’s aim is to stay in its new found place and save the category. Last season, the team finished sixth, so its current performance can be considered a resounding failure.
The Strasbourg team started off winning with predominance in its last match thanks to two goals in the first half, but it relaxed too much and got a goal scored against in the 73rd minute. After 20 minutes of suffering, and only because Angers was not able to score, the team won the match. Strasbourg is two points behind Troyes, who is in 17th place in the standings, so the team is obligated to win if it wants to get out of a tight situation at the bottom of the standings.
Possible line-up (3-5-2): Matz Sels; Ismael Doukoure, Alexander Djiku, Maxime Le Marchand; Frederic Guilbert, Morgan Sanson, Ibrahima Sissoko, Dimitri Lienard, Eduard Sobol; Habib Diallo, Kevin Gameiro
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams need to score goals at any cost in this match, and we are sure that desperation will make the game a bit erratic. Still, when we consider the problems that both teams have been having offensively, it makes us believe that they will draw in an intense, but scoreless match.
Prediction: Clermont 0-0 Strasbourg.
