It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Ajaccio, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.
Clermont form and stats
Clermont, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) in Ligue 2, must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Ligue 2 games here at Stade Gabriel Montpied.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Arthur Desmas not having conceded a league goal in 257 minutes.
A strong away win for Clermont against Chambly the last match, as Mohamed Bayo, Jim Allevinah and Jason Berthomier were on target. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Rodez.
Clermont has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Clermont have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
Ajaccio form and stats
It's not happening yet for Ajaccio on their Ligue 2 travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on O. Pantaloni, the Ajaccio manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Ligue 2 home defeat versus Toulouse with 0-1 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Auxerre wasn't a success with a 1-5 loss.
Ajaccio are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Ajaccio's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 8 goals in 3 travels.
