Prediction: 2-1
Clermont
Stade Bollaert-Delelis will host Saturday’s Ligue 1 game between Lens and Clermont, the two teams with totally different ambitions in the season finale. Lens are eyeing a spot in European competitions, while Clermont’s main goal is to secure the elite division survival. Les Sang et Or are six points behind the Conference League berth, meaning that this match is of big importance for the hosts. Midfielder Przemyslaw Frankowski is back from suspension, while Facundo Medina serves a one-game ban.
Both Corentin Jean and Wesley Said are sidelined with injuries. Clermont, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Lille and Lorient. Les Lanciers have been struggling at the back of late, which is the main reason why we are going to put our money on the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Pas-de-Calais.
