Prediction: 2-1
Clermont
St Etienne will be looking to move away from the rock bottom when they face take on Clermont at their Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on Sunday afternoon. Les Verts are not having a season to remember, but this game could be the turning point for the hosts. All Harold Moukoudi, Miguel Trauco, and Alpha Sissoko are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Les Lanciers aim to bounce back from back-to-back defeats to Nantes and Marseille, but seeing that the hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are tempted to put our money on the rock-bottom side. Johan Gastien is banned for the away side, while Yohann Magnin is out of contention with an ACL injury. This will be the first ever meeting between the two sides in the French top flight.
