Match preview
The Lancers welcome FC Girondins Bordeaux to the Gabriel Montpied Stadium on Sunday for this Ligue 1 match. Due to Clermont’s status as Ligue 1 newcomers this season, this will be the first-ever top-flight match in Clermont between these sides. Although, Clermont did host Bordeaux in the French Cup here five years ago, losing 0-1.
Clermont Foot come into the match having picked up 10 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six matches.
Les Lanciers won their last league match away to Olympique Marseille. Expected goals of 1 to 0.8 in favour of Marseille indicates Clermont Foot didn't deserve all three points on the balance of chances created.
Mohamed Bayo scored with the first chance of the game for Clermont. They then weathered the storm with Ouparine Djoco in fine form for his clean sheet, making four saves. Jim Allevinah then added a second goal five minutes from time to ensure there was no late drama out of Marseille. The final score of the match was 0-2.
Clermont are 2.62/1 to keep another clean sheet here against Bordeaux.
Their opponent on Sunday, FC Girondins Bordeaux, come into the match on a run of three away defeats in a row. They have picked up four points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
The Girondins shared the points in their last league match at home to AS Monaco FC. Expected goals of 1.0 to 0.9 in favour of Monaco indicates both teams probably deserved only a point.
It was Remi Oudin who opened the scoring midway through the first half for Bordeaux. Oudin now has four league goals this season for Bordeaux and is 3.1/1 to get on the scoresheet again here.
After Monaco were reduced to 10-men shortly after, it looked like they could get the win they needed to lift them off the bottom of the table. However, a Marcelo own goal saw them throw away two points in the second half. The final score of the match was 1-1.
