As part of one of the meetings of the next round of the French championship, the players of Monaco and Clermont will clash face to face. Will the favorite be able to win in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
"Monaco"
The players of Monaco have changed their mentor, and so far it is difficult to say how this will affect the quality of the club's game. The home team won the last meeting at Kovac in Ligue 1. She defeated Rennes with a score of 2:1. Instead of the Croat, Philippe Clement came to the camp of the club. With him, Monaco has already managed to hold one meeting, in which he painted a goalless draw with Nantes. In the standings, Monaco is on the 7th line in the standings. The Monegasques have 30 points on their account, obtained thanks to 8 wins and 6 draws.
"Clermont"
Clermont is having a very difficult time right now. Everything is extremely difficult for him to implement, which is why the results of the team as a whole suffer. For 4 meetings in the tournament, the club has only 1 victory. On December 12, Clermont won 1-0 against Angers. It was after the defeat against Montpellier with the same result. On January 9, the guests failed to score against Reims, the game ended with a score of 0:0. In general, the guests have only 4 wins during the season. Things are even worse in the away series, in which the team suffered 4 defeats in 5 matches.
Statistics and figures:
- Monaco is the favorite of the meeting;
- The Monegasques have not lost for 4 matches in a row;
- "Clermont" can't win in the last 2 matches;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 3:1 in favor of Monaco.
Forecast
We assume that in this meeting the guests will concentrate as much as possible on defense, which the favorite will have to overcome. I think that the opponents will be able to break the total of 2.5 goals. Our bet will be in favor of the most popular bet on this game.
