Clermont Foot - Stade Brestois 29 Predictions

Prediction: Draw or Stade Brestois 29
Best odds: 1.31

In an intriguing Ligue 1 clash, a struggling Clermont Foot will lock horns with a high-flying Stade Brestois 29 at the Stade Gabriel-Montpied. The predictions are tilting towards the visitors, but could there be a twist in this tale of contrasting fortunes? Let's delve into the key players, recent form, and historical encounters before arriving at a detailed forecast for this matchup.

Key Players

Clermont Foot will be heavily reliant on their attacker, Grejohn Kyei, whose performance could be pivotal. With a rating of 6.62, Kyei has managed to put 4 shots on target from a total of 11 attempts, though he has found the back of the net just once this season. The midfield support comes from Yohann Magnin, with a 6.72 rating, who has a commendable total of 384 passes this season, indicating his influence in the center of the park.

The away side boasts the talents of Mathias Pereira Lage, a midfielder with a 6.62 rating, who has been a significant presence with 2 goals to his name. Another key figure in the attack for Stade Brestois is Jérémy Le Douaron, an attacker who has a 6.72 rating and leads the team with 3 goals, thanks to his 16 shots on target. Not to be overlooked is the contribution of Steve Mounié, another forward with a 6.88 rating, who has scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists, underlining his importance to the side.

Recent Form

Clermont Foot's recent form reads like a distress signal, with only one win in their last five matches (WLLDL). This run has left them languishing at the 17th spot on the table, teetering on the edge of the relegation zone. In contrast, Stade Brestois 29 has been in sublime form, with a WWWWD record in their past five outings, a streak that has propelled them to 3rd in the standings, eyeing a spot in the Champions League.

Head-to-Head History

The recent head-to-head record provides little comfort for Clermont Foot, with Stade Brestois 29 coming out on top in their last three encounters. The most recent clash on December 3, 2023, saw Brestois dominate with a 3-0 victory. The previous meetings on May 21, 2023, and October 23, 2022, also ended in favor of Stade Brestois with 2-1 and 3-1 scorelines, respectively.

The advice suggests a "Double chance: draw or Stade Brestois 29" with the percentages for a home win at 0%, a draw at 50%, and an away win also at 50%. The form guide shows a stark contrast, with Clermont at 28% and Stade Brestois at a commanding 72%.

In terms of attacking and defensive capabilities, Stade Brestois 29 holds a clear advantage with an attacking strength of 69% compared to Clermont's 31%, and defensively, they are rated at 78% against Clermont's 22%. This suggests that not only are Brestois likely to score, but they are also robust at the back, making it difficult for Clermont to find a breakthrough.
