Clermont vs Lorient: Match Preview and Predicted Lineups
Expect a tight encounter in this clash. It will be tight because both teams are fighting to stay in the top division as we move towards the end of the season.
This team is the kind of opposition that Clermont Foot is happy to meet to cement its exit from the relegation zone. Les Lanciers have avoided defeat at home three times in the recent five home matches. What else can Gastien do but deploy his 4-3-3 formation to get a better result than the one he recorded against the bottom team in the division.
Clermont’s problem will be the absence of Samed, who has been instrumental this season due to suspension. Other players who are unlikely to feature due to injuries are Ogier, Bayo, and Albert.
Lorient produced another dismal performance against Lyon at home. This borderline display came after pulling a surprise win on the road. The visitors have become one of the league's poorest travelers this season. They have a single win from their five recent away matches. Pelissier knows a win is enough to take his side out of the relegation, albeit tentatively. The manager, therefore, will line up his trusted arsenals to take on Clermont on Sunday.
The only potential absentees for the coming event are Abergel (suspended), Diarra, and Lemione who are out injured.
Predicted Clermont Foot lineup: Djoco, Houtondjo, N’simba, Zedadka, Seidu, Gasten, Rashani, Berthomier, Gomes, Kyei, and Da Cunha.
Predicted Lorient lineup: Dreyer, Goff, Mendes, Jenz, Monconduit, Innocent, Ouattara, Lauriente, Mofi, and Laporte.
