Clermont Foot vs Stade Rennes Prediction: The first draw ever between these sides?

Clermont Foot are now at the bottom of the league table after Olympique Lyon won their last game and they lost to Marseille last weekend. The drop had been coming for quite some time after a series of poor results from Clermont Foot. Now they need to respond if they must stand a chance of surviving the drop by the end of the season. It's been 0 wins for Clermont Foot in their last 5 league games and they look ahead to a visit from Stade Rennes.

Stade Rennes are also underperforming at the moment and they are also expected to drop further down the table unless their performance improves. They have recorded 0 wins in their last 4 matches in all competitions and next up is a trip to Stade Gabriel Monpied to face the poorest team. This might be the chance they need to turn things around but will they be strong enough to take it?

Clermont Foot

Clermont Foot are looking hopeless at the moment and they offer little hope of a turnaround considering their current form. Their last win was against Lorient a month ago, and since then they have lost 3 games and drawn twice.

They lost 2:1 to Olympique Marseille away from home last weekend, which came as no surprise at all because of the difference in form between the two sides. Michael Murillo and Amine Harrit gave Marseille a 2-goal lead in the first half and in the 58th minute, Jim Allevinah pulled one goal back for Clermont. But that was all they could get and the game ended in a defeat. Clermont Foot now sits at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table, having 11 points from all 16 matches played this season.

Clermont Foot and Stade Rennes have shared an interesting history together. Stade Rennes won the most recent meeting 2:0, but Clermont Foot won the previous meeting at home 2:1.

Stade Rennes

Despite being in very poor form, Stade Rennes are expected to take advantage and get all 3 points against Clermont Foot in this match. Clermont are the poorest team for a reason and there's no excuse why Rennes shouldn't get a comfortable win against them. But at the moment, Rennes continues to struggle for a winning form. They have failed to win their last 3 league matches and they won only 1 game in 9 matches. It's a surprise they are not so far down the league table after such a horrific run of results.

Their latest game against Toulouse amounted to nothing as neither side could find the back of the net after 90 minutes. And that result leaves Rennes in 13th place with 16 points from 16 matches played.

Stade Rennes will take the trip to Stade Gabriel Monpied, where they have never recorded a win. In both visits to the ground, they lost twice.

Head to Head

Clermont Foot and Stade Rennes have met only 4 times in their history. Clermont Foot won 2 matches and Stade Rennes also won 2 matches.
