Clermont - Strasbourg betting tips and odds

Clermont have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Strasbourg. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

Strasbourg are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

Clermont’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Rennes as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 2:0 loss for Clermont.

Strasbourg went into their previous Ligue 1 matchup as both the hosts and the clear favourites, so it’s no surprise that they ended up winning. They took an early lead and held onto it for the remainder of the proceedings, ultimately snagging a narrow but clear-cut 2:1 victory.

With 6 concessions over the last 3 matches, Clermont will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Looking over the visitors’ record in away games, it seems they don’t do well when they’re out of the comfort of their home field. They’ve recorded a worrying number of conceded goals in their previous 3 away games – more than 5, to be more precise.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 1.75 odds offered by 888Sport.
