Bookmaker ratings: Prediction one: Nice to win – 2.06
Bookmaker ratings: Prediction two: Nice not to lose and Total goals over 1.5 – 1.57
Clermont players will be more confident after picking up a tremendous win last week.
Meanwhile, Nice had less time to prepare for this match than their opponents. However, that doesn’t change the fact that Lucien Favre’s men are eager to earn 3 points in this campaign.
The chance of seeing at least two goals in this clash are very high.
There have been more than 2.5 goals scored in Clermont’s last 6 Ligue 1 home matches. In addition, the hosts have failed to keep a clean sheet in their previous 11 home fixtures. Thus, we will back a less risky bet for our second prediction.
After kicking their new season with a 0:5 tough loss to reigning champions PSG, Clermont bounced back and came from two goals down to spectacularly win 4-2 at Reims last week. It was the first time in the clubs’ history to score 4 goals in a Ligue 1 match.
Meanwhile, Clermont manager Pascal Gastien needs to worry, as they have won just two of their last 15 Ligue 1 games at the Gabriel Montpied Stadium (D4, L9).
On the other hand, Lucien Favre’s second spell in Nice started not well, as the Swiss manager is yet to win a match. Les Aiglons kicked off their season with a pair of draws against the newly promoted Toulouse and Strasbourg.
Meanwhile, they had an unsuccessful start in the European arena, losing the UEFA Europa Conference league playoffs first leg against Maccabi Tel Aviv (0:1).
Lucien Favre’s attack needs a huge boost, as they’ve failed to score in five of their last nine Ligue 1 road trips.
There are no reported injuries or suspensions concerning both teams.
Clermont: Diaw; Borges, Ogier, Wieteska, Seidu, Gastien, Gonalons, Rashani, Cham, Dossou, Andric
Nice: Schmeichel; Dante, Todibo, Lotomba, Bard, Beka, Ramsey, Thuram-Ulien, Delort, Stengs, Gouiri
For bookies, the hosts are clear favourites. If you are looking for safe bets, you can try “Nice double chance” outcome. This bet has odds of 1.33 at 22Bet.
In the last 5 Ligue 1 matches at Stade Gabriel Montpied, there have been a total of 22 goals, which means an average of 4.4 total goals per game. Thus, we will back “Total goals over 3.5” outcome for a quick profit bet. This bet has odds of 3.40 at 22Bet.
The last match between these teams ended in a 1:0 win for Nice in February 2022.
