Clermont vs Troyes Predictions

Clermont and Troyes were title rivals in the second tier last season and now they meet in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

Both sides made impressive starts to the new season as Troyes were unlucky to fall to a 2-1 defeat at home to Paris Saint-Germain, while Clermont picked up a 2-0 win at Bordeaux.

Clermont finished the previous campaign with a nine-game unbeaten streak at home with seven wins and two draws.  That streak included a 1-0 success over Troyes, and we feel home advantage may prove the difference between these two evenly matched teams.

We’re backing Clermont to pick up all three points, and 2-0 stands out in the correct score market as the hosts have scored at least two goals in four of their last five games including their pre-season fixtures.
