Clermont form and stats

Clermont have played 2 Ligue 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-0-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Clermont travelled for their previous game, a trip to Toulouse that ended 2-2. There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Toulouse as Ogier's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. Seidu was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.82 out of 10. The defender Seidu hit the woodwork once and won 9 of 12 duels.

Preceding that match was the home game against Metz that was lost 0-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Clermont have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.

At Stade Gabriel Montpied, Clermont has the goal stats of 2-5 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

A 3-3 draw was the result before that, hosting Monaco.

We have checked recent matches where Nantes have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 5 games were 1 victory, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
