The game continued a trend for Clermont of low-scoring games of late in Ligue One, as six of their last nine league games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Despite their comfortable position in the Ligue One table, Clermont’s recent home form in the French top flight has been poor, as they have won just once in their last five league games on home soil.
Their recent home matches in Ligue One have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their previous four home league matches.
The visitors currently occupy the Europa League spot in Ligue One, although they are just four points off the Champions League qualifying spot in the French top flight.
Philippe Clement’s team heads into this clash on the back of a six-game unbeaten run in the French top flight, four of which have ended in victories. Last time out, the team from the principality recorded a 3-2 home win over Auxerre.
Unlike the home team, Monaco’s recent games in Ligue One have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven league matches.
Monaco also has a decent recent away record in Ligue One, as they are unbeaten in their previous four away games, recording two wins and two draws on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Monaco will continue their recent good form by recording a victory in a relatively low-scoring encounter.
