Clermont - Monaco betting tips and odds

While Clermont winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to Monaco, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

Most bookies see Monaco as the favourites in this matchup, though it’s important to know things can go either way. Their victory is currently priced at 1.87, indicating that the hosts have a fighting chance.

The last round brought a very good result overall for Clermont. They took a difficult Ligue 1 trip and managed to go against all odds in order to record an important Lille away draw.

Monaco had a clear strategy last round – securing an early lead against Auxerre and turning it into a slow, but comprehensive victory. Whether they will use it again against Monaco remains to be seen, but they earned the right to feel confident at Stade Gabriel Montpied.

With two almost goalless matches behind them, we’re not convinced matches in which Clermont are playing are good for markets such as Over 5 Goals. In the interest of seeing some excitement, we hope that they’ll manage to buck the trend.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from Monaco in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

Now would be the perfect time for Monaco to turn it up a notch if their aim for this season is to finish higher than the Europa League spots. Online bookies have them well-poised at 1.87 betting odds to beat Clermont and we suggest you back them with a $STAKE stake.

Monaco are seen as the stronger team – after all, they’re expected to win this game despite the home-field disadvantage. However, they failed to defeat Clermont in the home game they played earlier in the season.

The visitors clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, which is made even more sure thanks to the presence of their entire roster. They’ve had no injuries or suspensions recently, leaving their lineup intact for the game.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.80 odds offered at 888Sport.
