Match Preview
Clermont hosts Troyes at Stade Gabriel Montpied in what promises to be an intriguing Ligue 2 clash on Friday evening. Both teams have shown mixed form recently, with Clermont securing three draws and a win from their last five matches, while Troyes has managed two wins and a loss in the same period. Historically, Troyes has had the upper hand in their last ten encounters, winning six times, which could give them a psychological advantage heading into this fixture.
One key angle to consider is the scoring potential of both sides. Clermont has seen three of their last five matches feature over 2.5 goals, while Troyes has also been involved in high-scoring games, making the odds of 2.05 for over 2.5 goals appealing. Additionally, with both teams capable of finding the net—evidenced by the fact that both scored in three of their last ten head-to-heads—betting on both teams to score (BTTS) at 1.83 could be a worthwhile option for punters looking for value in this matchup.
