Clermont - Brest predictions

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Clermont winning as a likely outcome, and we tend to agree. In fact, they are the clear underdogs compared to Brest, which is made quite clear with the 3.85 odds offered for a home win result.

If everything goes according to plan and Brest put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

Clermont’s previous Ligue 1 match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Lille . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 8.50. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 4:0 result before the end.

Brest are coming on the back of a disappointing draw in their previous Ligue 1 matchup, which they played as the home team. They had the advantage of playing at home, but the odds never clearly marked them as the favourites. It makes sense that neither side managed to gain the upper hand throughout the out.

Experts have pointed at Clermont’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Ligue 1 games.

Brest have registered 6 goals in their three previous home games, which is impressive by any measure. Although they’ll be playing as visitors on Sunday, it’s still a very good idea to look at Over markets.

The remainder of the season will not be easy for Clermont. They’ll need to work hard just to get out of the relegation zone, for which they’ll need 1 point.

Brest and their supporters are likely hoping to find the 11 point they’ll need to be first in the standings. Winning this Sunday would be challenging, but well worth the effort. That said, most of the season is still ahead, which means they’ll have plenty of time either way.

We already have a clash between these teams to use as a reference point. Earlier in the season, Brest walked to a comfortable victory. It seems that the 2.13 odds make a lot of sense, considering the information at hand.

Clermont’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Cheick Oumar Konaté, Komnen Andrić, Maximiliano Caufriez, Alan Virginius have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 3.54 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
