Clermont vs Strasbourg Prediction: Sportpesa Mega Jackpot Predictions

FRANCE: LIGUE 1 – ROUND 25

Date: 26 February 2023, Sunday

Kick-off at 16:30 EAT

Venue: Stade Gabriel Montpied (Clermont-Ferrand)

After suffering three consecutive 2-0 defeats and failing to score a single goal in their last five Ligue 1 matches (D2, L3).
Clermont will be eager to end February on a positive note and revive their hopes of a potential charge towards European qualification.
Their poor form has been typified by a lack of goals, with their goalless draw against Nantes being the start of a run where they and their opponents failed to register a shot on target.
While Clermont’s struggles to score have been a recurring issue, the fact that they’ve failed to score in their last three home games (D1, L2) is unprecedented.
Despite having only recorded one win against teams below them in the table at home this season (D2, L2), Clermont will be determined to avoid extending their poor record in this game.
Last season, Strasbourg were in contention for European qualification at this stage of the campaign, but this season has been a struggle, with the team currently 20 points behind where they were after 24 matches last term.
With four teams facing relegation this season, Strasbourg are in a precarious position, but a recent 2-1 victory over bottom side Angers has given them some breathing space.
While Strasbourg started their manager Frédéric Antonetti’s reign with a win, they’ve only managed to win one of their last six away league fixtures (D1, L4).
However, they did secure a 2-0 victory against Clermont in their previous encounter, and starting well could be crucial for Strasbourg to keep their distance from the relegation zone, as the team that scored first has won each of their last four away Ligue 1 games (W1, L3).
