Nancy (home team)
- AS Nancy Lorraine is mired in 17th place in Ligue 2 with 15 points from 16 games, after a run of four losses in five games in all competitions, including a 1-0 loss to Grenoble Foot 38 in Ligue 2.
- Pablo Correa returned to the club and has made Nancy more rigid in a system with three centre-backs and wing-backs.
- It allows Correa to be aggressive in transition, but it’s not yet yielding results.
- Nancy’s home form has been poor with two wins, one draw, and four losses in Ligue 2 (W2, D1, L4) averaging just 0.71 goals per game.
- Brandon Bokangu leads the line and has been Nancy’s main outlet in Ligue 2 with three goals.
Clermont (away team)
- Clermont’s Abdoul Kader Bamba has scored seven goals in Ligue 2 (in 16 games) and four goals in the last five games.
- Clermont has won two, drawn three, and lost three of their eight away Ligue 2 games, scoring 1.00 goals and conceding 1.50 on average.
- Clermont’s form has been mixed with one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five.
- The draws have been their last two Ligue 2 games, which finished 2-2 and 1-1, followed by a 1-1 draw in the Coupe de France, losing on penalties.
- Gregory Proment’s side has been steady as a club rebuild continues with an emphasis on youth and structure.
- They sit in 12th place with 19 points from 16 games.
- Clermont’s problem is that they can control the ball well and get it wide, but they don’t penetrate enough and when they do they are wasteful.
- Proment’s team will set up to control the game and frustrate Nancy and will give it a go when they can, but they won’t push forward too much.
