Ligue 1 Action at Stade Gabriel Montpied – Clermont Foot face Nantes

Sunday at Stade Gabriel Montpied, as Cleermont host Nantes in the Ligue 1.

Nantes will travel to Cleermont, as ninth plays seventeenth in the table.

This season’s Ligue 1 campaign, has so far seen Clermont Foot achieve 28 points

Pascal Gastien will not wish to see his side lose three matches in a row, so they will doubtless go into this match, determined to change their recent, disappointing run of form.

Also, Cleermont need to find a way to generate wins on a consistent basis, as they’ve recorded 12 losses in their last 19 fixtures. Now they have 7 matches won, 15 games lost and 7 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in seventeenth place, with a total of 28 points having won seven games, drawn seven fixtures, and lost 15 matches.

Playing at home, Cleermont have won three games, drawn five meetings, and lost six matches.

Clermont Foot will have 31 points if they manage to secure a victory.

Injury and illness have depleted Pascal Gastien’s Cleermont and they will likely be missing six key personnel for Sunday’s match.

Nantes have 42 points to their name, going into this tie

Nantes have dropped all six points in their last two games, a disappointing run of form, which Antoine Kombouare will be keen to turn around in this fixture.

Also, Nantes keep finding ways to win, having secured seven victories in their last 13 matches is astonishing this season. Their position is ninth in the League and they have 42 points, that is, 12W, 11L and 6D having won 12 fixtures, drawn six games, and lost 11 meetings.

Nantes now travel, knowing that their current away form is woeful. So far this season they have won three matches, drawn four matches, and lost seven games matches on the road.

Nantes will see 45 points so far this season, should they secure a win.

Antoine Kombouare could be missing up to three of their players through injury or illness for the game on Sunday.
