Top Bets for Lyon vs Clermont
Lyon finally won away from home, but now they need to quickly refocus on their next match to continue their good start to the second part of the season.

Lyon to Win
Lyon had a lot of problems playing away from home, but their form when playing in front of their fans is something completely different. They are the fourth-best team at home with five wins out of eight matches with only one loss that happened against PSG. Clermont has been decent as a visitor, but with Lyon positively restarting their campaign, the home team will be the favorite to come through this match unscathed.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
It may look strange, but Clermont is more effective in front of the opposing goal when playing away compared to their home stats. They have scored eight goals while the hosts, and eleven when they are away. That fact is related to the notion that they feel comfortable creating opportunities while being an underdog which will again be the case when they travel to Lyon.

Team Information, Probable Lineups, and Preview
Lyon
The home team is not involved in European competitions this season which is something that Lyon fans are not accustomed to being the case. They are still some way off fifth place, trailing Monaco by six points. However, their impressive away win against Brest, only their second of the season was a good start to their ambitions for the rest of the season. They won 4-2 and already had scored three goals by halftime. Strangely, before the game against Brest, they have scored only seven goals in away games this season. Maybe, an even more important stat about the game against Brest was that four different players were on the scoresheet. Lyon still has some injury issues, Henrique, Malo Gusto, Houssem Aouar, and Jerome Boateng are out, while Julian Pollersbeck should be in contention after missing the match against Brest.
Lyon's probable lineup: Lopes, Kumbedi, Diomande, Lukeba, Da Silva, Tolisso, Caqueret, Tete, Cherki, Toko Ekambi, Lacazette.
Clermont
Clermont performed better than expected in the first part of the season, and even after losing to Lille in their first game back after the World Cup break, they are still somehow tenth in the league. It has been almost three months since their last league win, and since then they have had three draws and losses apiece. They failed to win any of their three friendly games during their preparation period losing on a couple of occasions. Their away form is a reason for optimism as they won twice accumulating a total of nine points on a positive 11-10 goal difference. For now, they look safe from relegation, but they are not that far behind, only six points away from Brest who is the first team behind the relegation zone line. With their form going downhill, and with a visit to Lyon coming up, this is a trying time for Clermont and its coach Pascal Gastien who is currently one of the longest-serving coaches in Ligue 1.
Clermont's probable lineup: Diaw, Mendy, Wieteska, Seidu, Borges, Gastien, Magnin, Allevinah, Rashani, Khaoui, Kyei.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Alexandre Lacazette
Lyon's best player scored his tenth goal of the season away to Brest, he is also the team's best creator of goals with four assists. It's hard to imagine Lyon's forward line with Lacazette who will look to further extend his goal tally beyond the current form.
