Four wins for Nantes in the previous ten head to head games give them the historical advantage. This season Nantes average 1.0 goal scored and 1.8 conceded in home league games while Clermont score 1.5 and concede 2.0 on their travels. Clermont overall have found the net at a rate of 1.8 goals per game but have kept only three clean sheets. Nantes should look to exploit the space behind Clermont defence with direct play. A tight contest could hinge on whether Nantes can convert their home advantage into a decisive edge.
