Lyon managed to stop their run without a win by beating Brest 4-2 in their first league match after the World Cup break. The additional three points will make Laurent Blanc’s camp still have a great chance to take part in the race for tickets to European competition next season.
From 16 matches, Lyon managed to collect 24 points and are in eighth place with a three-point lead from Nice. At least an additional six points are needed to catch up with AS Monaco which is in fifth place.
The record without losing in the last three home matches in Ligue 1 this season can actually be the starting capital ahead of hosting Clermont. Moreover, on a head-to-head basis, Les Gones are unbeaten in three meetings against Clermont – drew twice and won in the last meeting in May 2022.
Clermont, meanwhile, is battling its way back from a winless run in its last six league games, drawing three and losing three times including facing Lille 2-0 in the first game after the international break.
Of course, this negative record must be stopped immediately so that Pascal Gastien’s troops do not have to face the threat of relegation. The reason is, despite being in 11th place with a collection of 19 points, Les Lanciers are only six points ahead compared to Brest and Auxerre who are on the verge of relegation.
A good record away from home, collecting nine points in eight league visits this season, is expected to boost Gastien’s team’s confidence when they visit Lyon. Moreover, so far Lyon has only lost one of eight opportunities to host guests in the domestic league competition – five wins and two draws.
