Clermont vs Angers – Following Clermont Foot’s 0-2 victory over ESTAC in Ligue 1 play, the team is hoping to add another victory to their record.
Clermont Foot controlled 57% of the ball during that game and attempted 12 shots, four of which were successful. Johan Gastien (31′) and Muhammed Cham (27′) scored goals for Clermont Foot.
Troyes made 9 tries at goal for their rivals, scoring 3 goals. In their last six games, Clermont Foot, led by Pascal Gastien, have scored seven goals. 8 goals have been scored against them in those contests, which is the matching total.
In their previous four league games against Angers SCO, Clermont Foot had not lost. After defeating Lille 1-0 in their previous game in Ligue 1, Angers SCO will enter this one with momentum.
Angers SCO had 33% of the possession in that game and 5 of their 7 shot attempts were successful. Halid Abanovi was the lone scorer for Angers SCO (84′). Lille made 15 tries on goal with 5 of them being successful at the other end.
The numbers don’t deceive, as Angers SCO has allowed goals in five of their last six games while having 14 goals scored against them altogether.
Angers SCO has not been performing adequately at the back. However, there is no guarantee that such a pattern will continue throughout this game.
Pre-game statistics reveal that in the previous three league games, Angers SCO has not defeated Clermont Foot when playing them away from home. In the previous ten league games, they have failed to win away from home. It’s definitely not a strong run.
Clermont vs Angers – Betting Analysis
Looking at their previous head-to-head matchups dating back to April 18, 2014, Clermont Foot has won 3 and Angers SCO has won 1, with 2 games being drawn.
Over the course of those games, a total of 15 goals were scored between them, with Clermont scoring 8 and Les Scostes scoring 7. That equals 2.5 goals per game on average.
The score of their previous league match was Angers SCO 1-2 Clermont Foot on Ligue 1 Match Day 19 on January 15, 2023. In that game, Angers SCO had 59% of the possession and 1 of their 1 goal-bound shots. Sofiane Boufal scored the goal (at 80′).
Six of Clermont Foot’s ten shots on goal were on target. The goals came from Elbasan Rashani (40′) and Neto Borges (47′). Mathieu Vernice served as the match official.
The Clermont Foot coach Pascal Gastien just has one fitness concern out of an otherwise completely prepared group of players, so availability isn’t a major issue. Pubalgia’s Komnen Andric is not participating.
With Mory Diaw, Maximiliano Caufriez, Mateusz Wieteska, Alidu Seidu, Neto Borges, Maxime Gonalons, Johan Gastien, Jim Allevinah, Muhammed Cham, Elba Rashani, and Grejohn Kyei, we believe Clermont Foot should play a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Alexandre Dujeux, the head of Angers SCO, has a number of availability difficulties to address. Ilyes Chetti (thigh issues) and Los Diony (cruciate ligament rupture) will not be participating in this game.
With Paul Bernardoni, Yan Valery, Cédric Hountondji, Faouzi Ghoulam, Farid El Melali, Batista Mendy, Pierrick Capelle, Nabil Bentaleb, Justin-Noel Kalumba, Himad Abdelli, and Ibrahima Niane in the starting lineup, we predict Les Scostes are most likely to choose a 3-5-2 formation.
When Angers SCO plays Clermont Foot, we believe that they have a good chance of scoring the goals they require because they will have a difficult time scoring themselves.
