Clermont are receiving Lorient for another key game following their 0-4 result vs 7th-placed Lille.

Insights:
  • Clermont have the fewest scored goals in the first half (10) in Ligue 1
  • Lorient have the fewest scored goals (22) in Ligue 1

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Lorient have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-12-23 (win-draw-loss) from 42 matches.

Both contenders have had a decent time to rest since their last exertion in an official match. Let's hope for an enthusiastic fixture!

Clermont form and stats

3-5-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for Clermont so far this season.

Clermont faced defeat in their previous match, away at Lille (0-4). Defender N'Simba got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.05/10. N'Simba hit one key pass and won 7 of 8 duels.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Bordeaux.

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 four games. Clermont has won two of these, drawn one and lost one.

Clermont has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. Clermont's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Lorient form and stats

There's been little loot from Lorient's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 14 away games in the Ligue 1. Lorient only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 5 draws.

Lorient might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Olympique Lyonnais proved too strong as Lorient slumped to a 1-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Yves Allainmat - Le Moustoir. Attacker Moffi got a player rating of 7.25 in the game. "Man of the match" Moffi scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Brest at their stadium, the result 1-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lorient playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were zero Lorient wins, one draw and seven defeats.

The attacking power of Lorient when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 14 league matches away. The Lorient manager Pélissier has some worries about the defense as 29 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have played earlier this season: Lorient - Clermont 1-1. Numbers for the preceeding nine meetings featuring these two contenders are: two wins for Clermont, three draws and four wins for Lorient. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: eight games.
