Under 2.5 Goals
Clermont had five straight matches with fewer than three goals scored, and when looking at their home record, six out of their past seven encounters ended with under 2.5 goals. For the season, the hosts are at 14 ‘under' matches in 24 games played. When it comes to Strasbourg, they are going in a different direction having only nine games when there were not more than a couple of goals in the back of the net. In their last five outings, there were two games with no more than two goals scored, but those matches happened also in the last three they played. Strasbourg is a bit more efficient when it comes to scoring, they have 29 goals for the season, five more than Clermont. The Clermont vs Strasbourg h2h record speaks the ultimate truth, the last six times they played, under 2.5 goals were covered.
Both Teams to Score – No
We are basing this Clermont vs Strasbourg prediction on their h2h record. Their past five games ended without both teams scoring, and when we look at the last ten matches they played against each other, the number gets higher with seven games where at least one team didn't score a goal. Their current form is also something worth checking because Clermont didn't cover BTTS in the last five matches they played, and Strasbourg had NO next to BTTS in three of the last five encounters.

Clermont vs Strasbourg Lineups, Preview, and Team Information
Clermont
The home team did well in the first part of the season to make sure they don't have a dramatic end to the season fighting to stave off relegation. But, their recent form is cause for concern, they lost three matches in a row, and are without a win in the past five games. There are only two players that will most likely miss the match this weekend due to injury, those are Alidu Seidu and Johan Gastien.
Possible lineup: Diaw, Konate, Wieteska, Ogier, Allevinah, Magnin, Rashani, Neto Borges, Muhammed Cham, Maurer, Kyei.
Strasbourg
The visiting team is in a more serious predicament, they are only two points away from the relegation line, but they won two out of their past three games which got them out of the danger zone at least for one extra round. The trip to Clermont will be difficult for many reasons, but the main one is their extended injury list: Habib Diarra, Gerzino Nyamsi, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Eiji Kawashima, and Thomas Delaine are all out. Strasbourg will look to defend, and their main striker Habib Diallo could find himself in a difficult situation without protection from his midfield partners.
Possible lineup: Sels, Le Marchand, Djiku, Doukoure, Sobol, Lienard, Sissoko, Sanson, Guilbert, Gameiro, Diallo.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Habib Diallo
Even though they are close to the relegation zone, Strasbourg has one of the best strikers in Ligue 1 this season with Habib Diallo scoring 12 goals. He will be even more important for the Clermont trip because of many injuries to important players on the team.
