Ligue 1: The average league table placements illustrates the road Clermont and Troyes have been on so far. Both squads are ready for the match; let's get this baby out!
- Clermont have the most clean sheets (2) at home in Ligue 1
- Troyes have scored at least twice as many goals away as Clermont have scored home.
Clermont and Troyes should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Clermont form and stats
Clermont must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Ligue 1 games here at Stade Gabriel Montpied. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Clermont after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The Clermont goalkeeper Mory Diaw is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 221 minutes without conceding a goal in the Ligue 1.
Clermont drew their last game, 0-0 away at Strasbourg (placed 17th). Diaw, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.81 out of 10 in that game. Diaw topped it up with a clean sheet.
Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Toulouse.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 4 games. Clermont has won 0 of these, drawn 1 and lost 3.
With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Clermont defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Troyes form and stats
The visitors are W1-D0-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 1.
Two away games in a row for Troyes, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Lens. That loss was their first after three consecutive league rounds winning points. Defender Porozo was the best team player with a rating of 7.53. Porozo won 10 of 12 duels.
Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Rennes.Troyes are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 7 times in 4 away games so far. The Troyes manager Irles has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head statistics (for the former ten meetings): Clermont won seven games, one match ended with a tie and Troyes managed two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five.
