Clermont vs Nantes Prediction and Betting Tips | January 29th 2023Clermont face off with Nantes in a Ligue 1 match at the Stade Gabriel Montpied this Sunday. Clermont are in their second Ligue 1 season, and they are doing well, all things considered. Right now they sit in eighth place, and while they’re too far behind to push for European qualification, a solid mid-table finish definitely looks within their grasp. Nantes, meanwhile, are currently in 13th place, and while they should be safe, they are actually just six points above the drop zone, meaning that they will probably be looking over their shoulders.
Nantes have lost just once in their last nine games, and are currently riding an unbeaten run of five matches. They most recently defeated Montpellier in Ligue 1 action, and have also progressed to the Coupe de France Round of 16, giving them some hope of retaining the trophy after their shock win last season. Despite four league places separating Clermont from Nantes, it’s the lower-placed visitors who can boast the better defense coming into this game.
They are in decent form, though, so they should come into this one with confidence. Clermont vs Nantes Head-to-Head and Key Numbers Recent games between these sides have largely been dominated by Nantes. They drew with Clermont in October, but beat them twice last season in their first games against them since 2013. Clermont are on one of the better runs in Ligue 1 at the minute, as they have won their last three games in a row, beating Lyon, Rennes and Angers. However, they have not played since January 15 after they were dumped out of the Coupe de France early on.
