Lille - Clermont betting tips and odds

Clermont will have little to hope for against Lille. The home charges are bursting with confidence and it would take a small miracle for the away team to take anything from this game.

The current perspective makes the situation crystal clear. Given the superiority of Lille and the 7.00 odds given to Clermont to win, it is evident that anything but a home win would be an incredible shock.

Lille losing their previous Ligue 1 appearance went against most betting odds and predictions – though they weren’t exactly hard favourites, either. Still, they were given a good shot to score an away win, but instead ended up losing 1:0 after spending almost the entire match playing from behind.

Clermont’s previous Ligue 1 match ended with a home draw against Nantes. The 0:0 outcome was better for Clermont than for their opponents, but fans are hoping for more decisive results in round 21.

Lille are a force to be reckoned with when met on their home turf, which is the case here. They currently have a trend going on with more than 5 goals scored over the last 3 home games, and they’ll certainly be looking to continue it.

The home team is currently 7th in the standings, leaving plenty of room for moving both up and down. A win here seems likely and will be a great start towards the 4 points needed to get into the Europa League qualifying spots.

Lille played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Wednesday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

Benjamin André, Jonathan Bamba, André Gomes will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
