Clermont Foot Preview – Can the Lancers sign off with a home victory?
Clermont Foot’s first ever season in Ligue 1 has been a successful one. The club were promoted from Ligue 2 last season after finishing runners-up to Troyes, who go into the final day just a point and a place above Clermont.
Pascal Gastien’s men were on an alarming dip in form after five straight defeats, but they have bounced back by taking eight points from the following six. The Lancers are unbeaten in their last two at home, drawing with Angers and beating Montpellier.
If results go their way on the last weekend, Clermont can still finish as high as 14th. Can they end a memorable campaign on a high note? The home win is priced at 3/1.
Lyon Preview – Will Bosz’s boys end with an away win?
Lyon narrowly missed out on the UEFA Champions League last term, but their fourth-place finish took them into the group stage of the UEFA Europa League. However, they will finish outside of the European spots with Peter Bosz at the helm this season.
To their credit, they have had a decent end to their campaign. After losing to Premier League club West Ham United in the last eight of the Europa League, Olympique have picked up four wins from six Ligue 1 matches.
