Clermont - Olympique Lyonnais predictions

To call the upcoming match difficult for Clermont would be a major understatement. They are going up against impossible odds. With a home win priced at 5.37 with major online bookmakers, this is a completely one-sided game.

We are likely going to see Olympique Lyonnais triumph this Sunday, though Clermont do have a fighting chance. Maybe the home field advantage will be enough to spur them into a surprise draw or victory, though it’s not a probable outcome.

Although Clermont are coming on the back of a harsh 4:1 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Monaco , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Olympique Lyonnais’s previous showdown against Lille was an uphill battle. At odds of 3.54 for an away win, not many fans expected a triumph. After spending the half-time break behind, however, they managed to snag a stunning 3:4 victory.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Clermont have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

With 9 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Olympique Lyonnais's backline has much to be wished for

Olympique Lyonnais will be trying to earn back the points they unexpectedly lost to Clermont earlier in the season. They’re not playing on their home turf this time, but most betting predictions are still confident that they’ll be able to pull ahead.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 2.50 odds are great value.
