Clermont last match

Clermont comes from a defeat recorded in the last match played. The opponent was Martigues, in a match valid for Ligue 2, and the two teams finished the match with a score of 0-1. On the field, S. Bichard's team lined up with a 4-2-3-1.

The odds of 4.33 show that no one expected a defeat for the team in this match. Despite being the favorites to win, they could not avoid defeat.

The defense certainly did not have an easy time in this match. The worst in the department is perhaps Damien Da Silva, who was missing in the most important moments of the match. One of the worst on the field.

Lorient last match

The adaptation of Mehdi Baaloudj with the new jersey has not been the best. He had another disappointing performance in Clermont last game of the season, against Martigues.
