Prediction: 2-2
Nice
Clermont and Nice face each other at Stade Gabriel Montpied in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. Clermont quickly bounced back from a 5-0 loss to PSG, with the team outplaying Reims 4-2 at the weekend, meaning that they are brimming with confidence ahead of the visit of Nice. A man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Komnen Andric, who scored a brace in the triumph over les Rouges et Blancs, while defender Mehdi Zeffane has yet to recover from a hamstring problem.
Les Aiglons, on the other hand, kicked off the new Ligue 1 campaign with back-to-back draws against Toulouse and Strasbourg, and given Clermont’s display in the victory over Reims, the visitors should be happy with one point from Sunday’s clash as well. Keep in mind, though, that important attacker Kasper Dolberg is injured for the visiting side. In their last meeting at the venue les Aiglons defeated Les Lanciers 2-1.
