Nancy form and stats
Nancy have collected 18 points from their Ligue 2 home games so far after 4-6-4.
Nancy are returning here after visiting Troyes in a Ligue 2 game and winning with a 5-1 scoreline. Aurelien Scheidler, Vinni Triboulet, Kenny Rocha Santos (2) and Giovanni Haag scored the goal(s). Ahead of that match, Nancy won a home game hosting Caen (1-0).
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Nancy played a great game against Troyes and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
The Nancy fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 22 goals in 14 league matches. Nancy have conceded 23 from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Clermont form and stats
The visitors, who have the fewest conceded goals (16) in Ligue 2, are W6-D4-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 2. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Clermont hope to make it five in this match. Clermont love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
360 minutes! That's how long the Clermont goalkeeper Arthur Desmas and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Clermont play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 5-0 victory visiting Guingamp (placed 17th). That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Valenciennes.
As mentioned above, Clermont was the only team on the pitch versus Guingamp in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Clermont have scored 19 goals in 14 league games away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (10 so far).
