Match preview: Clermont vs Troyes

Clermont and Troyes meet at Stade Gabriel Montpied for the 31st round of Ligue 2. In their last encounter in this competition on 23 August 2024, Clermont came away with a narrow 0-1 victory. Historically, the home team has an advantage at this stadium, having won 2 of the last 4 matches, alongside 1 draw and 1 loss. However, in their most recent Ligue 1 fixture at home on 18 September 2022, Troyes secured a 1-3 win. The goals came from J. Gastien (4’) for Clermont and M. Balde (54’ and 23’) and R. Ripart (83’) for Troyes. Notably, while this match features the 16th and 14th placed teams in the overall standings, it is worth mentioning that Clermont ranks 16th at home while Troyes holds the 9th position away from home.

Team analysis: Clermont

The home side currently sits 16th in the table with 28 points, having secured 6 wins, 10 draws, and 14 losses. In their second-to-last match, they were defeated 0-2 away to Paris. Most recently, they played to a 2-2 draw against Pau. Clermont’s home form has been inconsistent, amassing 14 points at home with 14 goals scored and 15 conceded, mirroring their away record where they have also obtained 14 points, with 11 goals scored but 25 conceded. During this campaign, Clermont has garnered a mere 9 points from the last 30 available, with only 1 win, 6 draws, and 3 defeats at home.

They are currently on an 8-match winless streak on home soil in this league. In fact, the scoreline of 1-1 has frequently occurred, with this result being recorded in 6 of their 15 home encounters. Their defensive capabilities have been shaky, allowing opponents to score in 9 of their last 10 league games. Moreover, there tends to be fewer goals in their home matches, as seen in 12 of their last 15 outings, which featured fewer than 3 goals. Out of 30 league fixtures, they conceded the first goal on 15 occasions and managed to turn the match around on just 1 instance. Finally, in their last 15 home league matches, they have scored 5 of their 14 league goals within the opening 15 minutes but have also conceded 5 during the final 15 minutes of play.

Clermont is under immense pressure due to their current position in the Ligue 2 standings. The risk of relegation looms large, underscoring the necessity for a more assertive approach when facing Troyes at home, who are looking to establish distance from the relegation zone.

Team analysis: Troyes

The visitors currently occupy the 14th position with 35 points, resulting from 10 wins, 5 draws, and 15 losses. In their penultimate match, they played a 2-2 draw at home against Red Star, followed by a goalless draw at home against Ajaccio. Troyes remains largely unaffected by the home advantage, achieving comparable results at home and away. Their last away match in the league ended in a 1-2 defeat to Metz. Over the last 10 league games played away, Troyes has registered 5 wins and 5 losses, fetching 15 points from the possible 30. Across 30 fixtures this season, they conceded the first goal on 13 occasions and have yet to manage a comeback from such situations. Notably, in their last 15 away matches in the league, they conceded 7 of their 18 goals between the 76th and 90th minutes.

Despite a somewhat lacklustre recent performance, Troyes has managed to maintain a buffer from the relegation zone. This has been critical in preserving a level of professionalism in Ligue 2. Facing an opponent at risk of relegation, it is essential for them to assert their dominance, even while playing away. With minimal errors, they could very well leave with three points in hand.
