Clermont form and stats
4-3-7 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for Clermont so far this season.
In their previous game, the manager Gastien led his Clermont to a defeat away at Montpellier. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Gabriel Montpied. Diaw had a busy but productive day in the Montpellier match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented. The forward Khaoui outperformed all the other footballers in that game and managed a match rating of 8.24 out of 10. Khaoui scored one goal, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Before that game, the home loss against Lens with the scoreline 0-4.This is expected to be a close game, with Clermont perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Clermont as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Clermont has won 1 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Clermont here at Stade Gabriel Montpied in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 14 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Clermont defense is not exactly impregnable. 25 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Ajaccio form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ajaccio so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 3-2-9 (win-draw-lose). Three has not been a lucky number for Ajaccio as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Troyes match.
Ajaccio are looking to quickly end their 292 minutes long goal drought in the Ligue 1.
Ajaccio's previous game was their home loss versus Monaco (0-2). Defender Alphonse was the best team player with a rating of 7.41. Alphonse hit one key pass and won 8 of 12 duels.
A 0-1 loss hosting Montpellier before that.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 6 similar matches played by Ajaccio in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Ajaccio, 4 draws and 0 defeats.
