With the volatile opening match out of the way it’s time for the second Ligue 1 clash of the season. Reims eagerly anticipate Clermont in front of their home fans.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Reims form and stats

The season before, Reims's league results were 11 wins, 13 draws and 14 losses, resulting in 12th spot in the Ligue 1. During these 38 matches they scored 43 goals and gave away 44. Playing as the home side in the former season Reims managed 5-6-8 (win-draw-lost) with 25 goals and 23 conceded.

Reims faced defeat in their previous match, away at Olympique Marseille (1-4). Bergen, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the declared top player for the team in that fixture, scoring a rating of 7.44 (out of 10). Bergen hit two key passes.

Ahead of that match, Reims lost 2-3 at home to Nice.

This is expected to be a close game, with Reims perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Reims as a small favourite), we find 12 games. Reims has won 5 of these, drawn 5 and lost 2.

Clermont form and stats

Let's have a look at how Clermont performed last season in the Ligue 1: They landed a 17th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 9 draws and 20 defeats. In total they scored 38 and conceded 69 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 3 and lost 11 with 16/36 goals scored/conceded.

Home advantage was not enough for Clermont in their previous game as they lost hosting PSG, 0-5. Clermont lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one. It is possibly a bad omen for Clermont that their keeper Diaw pulled off seven saves in the PSG fixture, but still were unable to stop a beating. Attacker Andrić got a player rating of 7.32 in the game. "Man of the match" Andrić hit one key pass.

A loss against Olympique Lyonnais was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 8 similar matches played by Clermont in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Clermont, 1 draw and 4 defeats.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Reims victories, three draws and two Clermont wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
