In one of Wednesday's matches in the 21st round of the French Ligue 1, Lille will play at home with Clermont. We bring to your attention the forecast for this duel.
"Lille"
The "Dogs" are in the current 7th place in the standings, 3 points behind the European Cup zone. In the last two matches of the championship, they failed to achieve victories, drawing with Brest (0:0) and losing to Nice (0:1). Between them, in two home matches, Paulo Fonseca's team defeated Troyes in Ligue 1 (5:1), and also beat Po in the French Cup (2:0), getting a ticket to the 1/8 finals of the tournament.
"Clermont"
Back in early January, Clermont flew out of the French Cup, sensationally losing away to Strasbourg Koenigshoffen (0:0, pen. 3:4). After that, Pascal Gastien's team was rehabilitated by two victories in the championship, with the same score 2:1 beating Rennes at home and Angers away. Last Sunday, the "red-blue" shared points in their home walls with "Nantes" (0:0).
Statistics and figures
- Lille has lost only 1 match out of the last nine, winning 5 times;
- In nine of the last ten matches of Lille, the Total bet was less than 2.5;
- Lille has a 9-match unbeaten streak at home (7 wins + 2 draws);
- Clermont has a 5-match unbeaten streak (3 wins + 2 draws);
- In four of the last six matches of Clermont, the Total bet was less than 2.5;
- Clermont lost only 1 match out of the last eight away games, winning three times.
Forecast
For Clermont, a five-match losing streak in a row is a rarity. It will be difficult to extend it in a duel with such a formidable opponent in a tight calendar. "Lille" has a large clip, so it can use a painless point rotation. I am waiting for a victory from the hosts, while admitting that the first half will end in a draw.
