Clermont aiming for improvement against a top side

Clermont

Like it was stated earlier, Clermont is winless in their past five league matches, and if we add the three friendly games they played during the World Cup break, all three without a win, their form is obviously in bad shape. They are still tenth in the Ligue 1 which is impressive considering their recent form, but things can change quickly if they don't get back on track soon enough. Their league position is somewhat misleading because they are only six points away from the relegation zone. But, this is something they expected according lớn their coach Pascal Gastien. If you look for answers lớn why they are struggling lớn get more wins, it's about their defending. They managed lớn keep their net safe in only three out of 15 matches played. The fact they conceded 23 goals, which is the most out of all the teams in the top ten, says that their ranking is better than what their form suggests. Let's check free football tips in here

Clermont's potential starting lineup: Diaw, Seidu, Wieteska, Caufriez, Bela, Gastien, Magnin, Rashani, Khaoui, Andric, Kyei.

Lille

Lille has been struggling defensively as well, they are the other team in the top ten that has conceded 23 goals. They only scored 27, so there isn't enough balance in that aspect which is one of the reasons why they are not closer to the top four places. Paulo Fonseca has been on the nóng seat for a while, but that hasn't stopped the Portuguese media to speculate that he could be the next Portugal manager after Fernando Santos lost his job following the World Cup. If Lille continues to struggle, Fonseca could find himself available for the national team job without any pressure from his current club.

Lille's potential starting lineup: Chevalier, Diakite, Djalo, Fonte, Weah, Gomes, Andre, Bamba, Cabella, Ounas, David.

Starting lineups

Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
