20:00 Nancy – Clermont Foot

The hosts are in some kind of a crisis in this moment, as AS Nancy lost each of its last three games in the French Ligue 2, without scoring goal in those three encounters (0-0-3 0-4).

However, it should be noted, that two of those three games were away from home (0-1 vs ES Troyes AC ; 0-2 vs AC Ajaccio), while the defeat against Valenciennes FC was first for this team in nine games at “Stade Marcel Picot” since the beginning of the new season (4-4-1 11-7).

Now the hosts will have a relatively easy test against one of the teams in the bottom half of the standings and what is also important – they will have much less problems with injured and suspended players, compared with the last few games, as only Karim Coulibaly (midfielder / 2 goals) and Arnaud Lusamba (midfielder / 3 goals) will miss the upcoming match against Clermont Foot.

The visitors, on the other hand, rely mostly on their games at “Stade Gabriel Montpied” (4-3-1 15-9), while Clermont Foot is among the teams with the worst away records in the French Ligue 2 (0-2-7 7-16).

The absence of important players like Cedric Bockhorni (first goalkeeper), Anthony Lippini (defender), Yohan Betsch (midfielder / 1 goal), Harry Novillo (midfielder / 2 goals) and Yannis Salibur (midfielder / 3 goals) will bring additional problems for this team.

The hosts have won three of the previous four games between these two teams at “Stade Marcel Picot” (3-0-1 9-7).
