Stadium: Stade Gabriel Montpied

At the Stade Gabriel Montpied, Clermont and Montpellier will square off in a Ligue 1 encounter on Sunday.
Clermont
Last time out, Pascal Gastien's team drew 1-1 with Nantes after Neto Borges put Clermont ahead in the 54th minute, only for Mostafa Mohamed to equalise with 17 minutes remaining.
In their last six Ligue 1 games, Clermont has only lost once, and their recent run of success has allowed them to move up to ninth in the standings.
Prior to the match with Les Canaris, the Lancers won over Bordeaux, Ajaccio, and Auxerre, drew with Monaco, and lost at home to Brest.
Montpellier
Following the departure of Oliver Dall'Oglio, Montpellier's interim manager, Romain Pitau, has been unable to oversee a quick rebound, losing 2-1 to Lyon and 3-0 away to Rennes.
Montpellier now sits in 14th place in the rankings, six points behind their opponents on Sunday, after losing their last five league games.
La Paillade has suffered on the road recently, losing four of their past five away games, so turning their fortunes around this weekend may prove difficult.
Clermont possible starting lineup:
Diaw; Ogier, Wieteska, Caufriez; Bela, Magnin, Gastien, Borges; Cham, Khaoui; Andric
Montpellier HSC possible starting lineup:
Kamara; Souquet, Sacko, Jullien, Cozza, Maouassa; Ferri, Chotard, Savanier; Khazi, Germain
Expert Betting Tips
Both teams are evenly matched, and it might be said that Montpellier has greater attack firepower. However, Montpellier has struggled lately and has been experimenting with their system, which is obviously not helping them. A home win seems likely.
