Despite their relatively lofty position in the table, Clermont are nine points outside the European spots in Ligue One. However, they are also 13 points clear of the relegation zone.
Clermont has been in good form in recent months, as Pascal Gastien’s team head into this clash on the back of three straight victories in the French top-flight. Last time out in Ligue One, they recorded a 2-1 win at Angers.
Their recent home form has not been great, though, in the French top-flight, as a 2-1 win over Rennes in their last home match in the league ended a three-game winless run on home soil for Clermont.
The visitors are seven points behind their hosts in Ligue One and just six points clear of the relegation zone in the French top flight.
However, Nantes goes into this game on the back of a five-game unbeaten run in the French top flight, a run consisting of three draws and two wins.
Strong defensive displays have helped that decent form, as Nantes have now kept clean sheets in their last four straight league matches.
The visitor's recent away form in Ligue One has been poor, as a 3-0 win at Montpellier in their last away game ended a 13-match winless run on their travels for Nantes in Ligue One.
Both teams head into this clash in solid form, and Forebet predicts that this encounter will produce a low-scoring draw.
