Clermont - Toulouse predictions

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over Clermont on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

A difficult match is ahead of Toulouse. They have a big fish to fry but we’ve seen them do it in the past and it’s certain they can do it again.

Clermont are heading into the Sunday clash on the back of a huge Ligue 1 win. They led at the halftime of their previous home match and ended up winning it by a one-goal margin (Le Havre) despite the unfavourable betting odds (2.90).

The home team are coming off of a 2:3 home defeat against Olympique Lyonnais. Though disappointing, the loss can’t be called unexpected – they were near underdogs from the get-go, and the fact they fell behind in the first half didn’t do them any favours either.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Clermont’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

With their most recent track record in mind, Toulouse tend to perform quite well offensively. Their previous 3 home games featured at least 5 goals in total.

Clermont are currently occupying 18th and are 3 points away from exiting the relegation zone. The salvation points are much needed but knowing they are priced at 3.22 to beat Toulouse this Sunday, the odds are against them.

The match these two teams played earlier in the season ended in a draw. Overall, Clermont have a lot more reason to feel happy about that, being the underdogs in the matchup.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 2.05 at Pncl.
