In a battle of the Ligue 1 strugglers, Lyon will host Clermont at the Groupama Stadium on Sunday at 7.45pm UK time. Both teams are yet to secure a win this season, with Lyon slightly ahead with three points, while Clermont lingers at the bottom with just two points from their matches.

Analysis:

Lyon’s fall from grace has been hard to digest for their loyal fanbase. Last season’s seventh-place finishers are currently in dire straits, with not a single win in eight games. The management change from Laurent Blanc to Fabio Grosso has done little to uplift the team’s spirits. The recent 3-3 draw against Lorient, despite a 3-1 lead, underscores the challenges the team faces.

Clermont, meanwhile, has had its fair share of miseries. Their start to the season was a series of defeats, and though they managed a draw against Toulouse, subsequent losses to Nantes and Le Havre dampened spirits. The highlight of their campaign so far? Holding defending champions PSG to a goalless draw. However, a potential victory marred by a firecracker incident against Montpellier encapsulates their tumultuous journey.

AD:

With both teams desperate for a win, this match is more than just three points – it’s about pride, survival, and a much-needed morale boost.

Prediction:

Given the current form and dynamics, this match is quite unpredictable. Both teams have shown glimpses of brilliance but have struggled to maintain consistency. However, considering Lyon’s home advantage and Clermont’s recent struggles, we anticipate a closely fought contest.

Goal.mu predicts: Lyon 2-1 Clermont.
