OGC Nice vs Clermont Foot – 23/04/2023
1187
On Sunday afternoon, Nice hosts Clermont at the Allianz Riviera in Ligue One as the hosts look to recover from their exit from the Europa League on Thursday night.
The home team heads into this clash on a six-game winless run in all competitions. Last time out, they suffered a 2-1 extra-time defeat against Basel to exit the Europa League at the quarter-final stage.
A 1-0 weekend defeat at Brest also means that Nice are winless in six Ligue One matches, having suffered back-to-back league defeats.
The loss was another low-scoring encounter for Nice, as five of their last six league matches have produced under 2.5 goals, including their last four in Ligue One.
Nice are winless in their last four games in Ligue One on home soil. However, a 2-0 home defeat by reigning champions PSG last time out on home soil ended a ten-match unbeaten run at the Allianz Riviera in Ligue One.
The visitors can move above Nice in the Ligue One table with a victory in this clash and possibly as high as ninth place.
Clermont are enjoying a solid campaign in the French top flight and heads into this game on the back of three straight wins in Ligue One. Last time out, they recorded a 2-1 win over Angers.
Clermont’s recent away record in the French top flight has been inconsistent, as they have won just two of their last five Ligue One matches on their travels.
The visitor’s recent away games in the league have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals in four of their previous five matches.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Clermont will record a victory in a low-scoring encounter to continue their recent good run in Ligue One and leapfrog Nice in the table in the process.
