Over 2.5 Goals
When we look at the odds for this Clermont vs Lorient prediction, it seems that there is a chance for positive earnings. The bookies seem to believe that this is a match that won't have many goals on the record. When we look at their h2h matchup, we can see the logic in that way of thinking as only one out of the last five games between these teams ended with more than two goals scored. If this was a match scheduled for somewhere in the middle of the season, there would be logic in going the other route, but at this stage of the season where results don't have a true meaning anymore, going for more goals than expected could be a good decision.
Both Teams to Score
The same way of thinking should apply to the second prediction in this Clermont vs Lorient duel. Two games out of their last five h2h encounters ended with goals coming from both sides of the field, and the last time it happened was the first match of the current season when Lorient took a 2-1 victory. Clermont has played four out of their last five league matches with both teams scoring at least a goal while Lorient has the same record with four straight BTTS games.

Clermont vs Lorient Lineups, Team News, and Match Preview
Clermont
The hosts lost for the first time in eight matches last week against Brest, but that defeat didn't hurt the team's spirit all that much. They had a historically great season and the team is destined to finish the year in the top ten of the rankings already accumulating more points than last term. Clermont doesn't have injury issues for the match.
Potential lineup: Djoco, Seidu, Wieteska, Caufriez, Allevinah, Magnin, Gastien, Neto Borges, Muhammed Cham, Rashani, Kyei.
Lorient
The visiting team has recovered well in the second part of the season after selling some of their most important players and will be looking to fuel their fan base a little more in the last two games of the season as they want to finish the year inside the top ten of the rankings.
Potential lineup: Mvogo, Le Goff, Talbi, Meite, Yongwa, Abergel, Innocent, Kalulu, Le Fee, Faivre, Kone.
Player to Watch: Grejohn Kyei
Clermont's great season will most likely lead to a transfer or two of some of their most important players. Grejohn Kyei tops that list. The French center-forward has been performing on a high level this season scoring nine goals with four assists in 35 league appearances.
