Prediction Clermont vs Troyes Season 2024/2025 – Betting Tips for Ligue 2 on April 18, 2025

As we gear up for an exciting clash in Ligue 2, Clermont will face Troyes at the Stade Gabriel Montpied on April 18, 2025, in what promises to be a thrilling encounter. Currently, both teams are navigating a challenging season, with Clermont in 16th place and Troyes slightly ahead in 14th.

Current Form

Clermont's recent form has been a mix of draws and frustrating losses. In their last five league matches, they have managed two draws against Pau and Amiens SC and faced defeats at the hands of Paris and Guingamp, scoring just two goals in their last three outings. This leaves them with a precarious position on the league table, having earned only 28 points from 30 matches, with 6 wins, 10 draws, and 14 losses. Their home form has seen 14 goals scored and 15 conceded, indicating a defensive vulnerability.

On the other hand, Troyes has also struggled to find consistent form. They have secured three draws out of their last five games, including a bitter stalemate against Ajaccio. Despite having a better goal record of 31 scored and 31 conceded over the season so far, they are still plagued by inconsistency. Troyes boasts a slightly more positive away record with 15 goals scored away from home and 18 conceded. This matchup certainly has the air of unpredictability.
