"Caen" - "Clermont": forecast for the match of the French championship
On January 3, Caen will host Clermont in the 17th round of the French championship. Will the hosts be able to put an end to their series of three defeats in a row, or will the visitors, who have not scored a single point in their last two matches away from home, continue their losing streak? In the forecast, we have analyzed in detail the form in which the teams are approaching the face-to-face meeting and have selected the most reliable bets. What choice should you make?

Command Analysis

Caen

Current form
For objective reasons, Caen could not set more ambitious goals for the season than maintaining their place in Ligue 2; in terms of player selection, the Normans are inferior to many of their competitors. So far, Nicolas Sobe team has not been able to jump above their heads and, based on the results of 16 rounds, occupies 16th place in the table, breaking away from the direct relegation zone only by additional indicators. Having lost 1:3 to Dunkerque in the last round, Caen suffered their ninth defeat of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Anri and Mivila are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- "Kan" has lost its last three matches
- Caen have scored in five of their last six matches
Approximate lineup: Clementia - Balumbu, Ntim, Toma, Lekush - Debohi, Braimi, Le Bihan, Rajot, Gomis - Mehdi.

Clermont Foot

Current form
Clermont, like its opponent today, had no chance of returning to the elite after being relegated last season – the team underwent a major restructuring in the summer and lost many key players. While Laurent Batles’ team is currently in 15th place with 17 points and is two points clear of the relegation playoff zone – there is a risk of ending up there today. Having drawn 1:1 with Rodez in the last round, Clermont extended its winless streak in the championship to four matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Inshaud is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Clermont have not won in their last four league matches – two defeats and two draws
- Clermont have not beaten Caen in their last 14 matches, with eight defeats and six draws.
Probable line-up: N'Diaye - Diallo, Jacquet, da Silva, Konate - Keita, Gastien, Manin - Douane, Diop, Baaloudj.
Trends
Bet Exact score 2:1
Two of Caen last five home matches have ended with this score
9.10Bet "Kan" will score in both halves
In the last two home matches of "Kana" such a bet was successful
3.45Bet Clermont to score in the second half
In the last two matches, Caen conceded in the second halves
1.85Tip and bets
After three defeats in a row, Caen will probably be maximally motivated and charged up for a victory in the home match against a direct competitor. At home, the Normans have scored five goals in the last two matches, and Clermont, with its problems in defense, has a minimum chance of playing to zero. At the same time, it is unlikely that the visitors will allow themselves to fall into the danger zone without a fight; an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.69
Bet on the outcome
After a series of failures, Caen found themselves in the transitional matches zone and today they risk falling into the direct relegation zone. Obviously, such a situation cannot suit the hosts and there will clearly be no problems with motivation. Clermont has looked very weak lately and traditionally has a difficult time playing against Caen, having not won any head-to-head matches with their opponents for 14 matches – it makes sense to give preference to the hosts.
