Clermont vs Troyes Prediction & Betting Tips (18 April)

The road is still very long for this Clermont team if it wishes to maintain itself. Only 16th in the ranking, it is therefore in a barragist position but it only holds a thread since Martigues, 17th, has the same number of points before these last 4 days. In great danger, the CF63 has not won since January 10, ie 12 days. Dominated by Paris FC, the Auvergne have seen their 2nd coach of the season, Laurent Batlles, being landed by the leaders who bet on the director of the training center, Sébastien Mazeyrat, to try to save the club. This one did not go far from the victory last week against Pau but his team ended up conceding the equalization in additional time. Troyes, for his part, had taken a fairly terrible start in this championship by chaining the defeats.

But the Estac then gradually been able to put its game ideas in place which allowed it to get out of the relegation area and even to dig the gap with the bad students of this league 2. Now 14th in the ranking, the players of Stéphane Dumont have 7 lengths ahead of their opponent of the day and a victory this evening would mathematically ensure their maintenance. Be careful however since the Aubois have not won for 4 days. Beaten by Guingamp 0-1 and by Metz 2-1, the Trojans had to be satisfied with draws against the Red Star 2-2 and Ajaccio 0-0 last week.

Clermont will still not be able to count on the services of the replacement M'Bahia nor on those of the disappointing attacker Inchaud. On the other hand, the new coach records the return of the defender DA Silva (ex-Lyon, Rennes) who was suspended against Pau. All put aside last week, Armougom, Diop, Mwimba Isala and Keita apply for a return to the group but nothing indicates that they will be present this Friday evening.

The top scorer of this team remains the winger Bassouama (4 goals), with customs who joined him in the standings last week. In addition, we should find the experienced Saivet, author of a clever strike last week to score his 3rd goal of the season.
