A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Clermont fans are optimistic that the difference between 6th and Nancy's 15th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Nancy haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
Nancy could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Ligue 2 game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Grenoble Foot 38, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Nancy.
Clermont form and stats
Clermont have collected 6 points from their Ligue 2 home games so far after 1-3-1.
An away draw last time out for Clermont, facing Amiens SC in a game that ended 1-1. In the match before that, Clermont hosted Guingamp and drew the game 0-0.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Clermont matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, zero draws and three defeats (from seven games).
The manager P. Gastien will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Niort in only three days.
Clermont aren't scoring a lot here at Stade Gabriel Montpied in the league, with only 4 goals from 5 games. From these home matches, Clermont have conceded only 3 goals.
Nancy form and stats
Nancy have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 1-1-4 (6 played). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Nancy are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Nancy are travelling again after losing away to Grenoble Foot 38 in their previous match (0-1). Prior to that match, the Nancy manager J. Garcia faced defeat when travelling to Caen and losing 1-2.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Nancy playing away, we found two games. Results were one away win, zero draws and one home win.
After this away game Nancy return home for a Ligue 2 game against Toulouse. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nancy as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. Nancy have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - two - four (Clermont wins - draws - Nancy wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Top Goalscorers
