This could be an interesting match as Auxerre have their presumed home advantage while Clermont are ahead 11 points in the Ligue 2 table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Auxerre and Clermont.
Auxerre form and stats
4-5-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 2 numbers at home for Auxerre so far this season.
Auxerre lost their last game at Guingamp (placed 8th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Before that, Auxerre had a home game versus Sochaux which ended with a victory 2-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Auxerre perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Auxerre as a small favourite), we find ten games. Auxerre has won three of these, drawn four and lost three.
The manager J. Furlan will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Ajaccio in only three days.
Auxerre are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 11 games. 11 goals have been conceded.
Clermont form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligue 2 travels is 5 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats. The awayteam now has four consecutive draws when travelling away from home.
Adrian Grbić and Jason Berthomier (2) scored in Clermont's previous match, the home game against Orléans that ended 3-1. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Lens that ended 1-1.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Clermont in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Clermont, two draws and three defeats.
After this away game Clermont return home for a Ligue 2 game against Valenciennes. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Clermont have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Clermont as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
