Nice vs Clermont: Our Top Best Predictions
Contents
Nice currently sits on the second spot on Ligue 1 table. It is a position they look to maintain after this game. With only two points separating Nice and third-placed Marseille, defeating Clermont is the only way of keeping top two hopes alive. Clermont is struggling with a poor form, especially away from home. Our best picks for this important game are as follows:
Easy win for Nice @ 11/20 (1.55)
This should be an easy win for Nice. The hosts are second in the league and despite having had challenges in home performances, the visitors are even worse in away performance. Winning the reverse fixture away from home was a step ahead, so getting another victory in front of home supporters should be easy for OGC Nice.
Under 2.5 @ 1/1 (2.00)
Clermont comes to this game with a 2-1 victory over Rennes. It was a shocking victory given that the visitors lost thrice and bagged a draw in four games before that. The fact that Nice is not doing so well at home should hand Clermont so confidence in this game. We expect the visitors to hold out for a draw or at least lose narrowly.

Nice vs Clermont Match Preview, News and Lineups
This is a fixture between two extreme sides. Nice is second in Ligue 1 while Clermont sits on 15th place. This is also the second meeting between these teams. The first meeting was in the reverse fixture, a match that Nice won 2-1 away from home.
After three losses and one draw in the last four matches across all competitions, Clermont came back strongly to defeat fifth-placed Rennes. It was a performance that many did not expect. Moreover, Clermont’s 2-1 home victory over Rennes in the last Ligue 1 game should motivate them in this trip to Allianz Riviera. The fact that they scored a goal in the reverse fixture is also reason enough to hope for a better result in this game.
However, Clermont’s away record hasn’t been impressive. They have only bagged two wins in 11 trips, 7 of which were losses. And while Nice hasn’t equally done well at home, the hosts boast a better scoring record than Clermont. For example, Nice averages 1.45 goals on home soil while Clermont averages 0.91 goals in 11 trips. From these stats, Nice has a better chance of finding the net in this fixture, albeit, not many goals. Thus, backing the hosts to score the first goal in this match is equally a good bet.
Nice predicted lineup: Benitez, Lotomba, Todibo, Dante, Amavi, Boudaoui, Rosario, Thuram, Stengs, Gouiri and Dolberg.
Clermont predicted lineup: Djoco, Zedadka, N’Simba, Seidu, Hountodji, Samed, Gastien, Bethomier, Cunha, Hamel and Rashani.
