Clermont form and stats

Clermont's struggle is real here at Stade Gabriel Montpied with only 14 points collected from 16 Ligue 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-5-8. Game days at Stade Gabriel Montpied have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Clermont as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Clermont enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Troyes's place. The match ended 1-0 with Bayo scoring. Defender Ogier got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.35/10. Ogier won 2 of 5 duels.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Metz that finished 1-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Clermont have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost three.

Clermont are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 16 games. Clermont have conceded 28 from these games.

Angers SCO form and stats

Angers SCO have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 2-8-6 (16 played).

Angers SCO might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Paris Saint Germain proved too strong as Angers SCO slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Raymond Kopa. Midfielder Fulgini was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 6.85. Fulgini hit three key passes and had 40 successful passes (of 44 total).

A 1-1 draw at Nantes's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Angers in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Angers SCO, six draws and one defeat.

Angers SCO find the net regularly in their away games. 19 goals from 16 away fixtures in the league. Angers SCO's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 27 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head
