Team News

Clermont Foot
Nice
  • Neto Borges remains suspended after being sent off against Montpellier.
  • It's unlikely the hosts make any changes after a vital and gritty win away to Lyon last Sunday.
  • Florent Ogier is also an option in defence -- the veteran had started ahead of Seidu following the latter's return from international duty.
  • Youcef Atal has been hit with a seven match ban for inflammatory posts on social media -- he will return in 2024.
  • Khéphren Thuram is back from a one-match ban and will start in midfield.
  • Antoine Mendy is fit again, but unlikely to be included in the eleven.

Prediction

  • Clermont are unlikely to give Nice any quarter, but whether or not they can break a defence that's conceding less than a goal every other match is another story.
  • The other side of that coin is Les Aiglons' attack, which has tended to rely on individual brilliance over cohesion.
  • The return of Thuram will no doubt help, though, and that should be enough for Francesco Farioli's side to put pressure on Monaco and PSG ahead of their matches later in the weekend.

  • Both team aren't goal scoring, and also bad at finishing chances. This is a straight under game. Nice on double chance.

  • @DanielTobi0 yup stinker inbound
