Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
After suffering a 1-0 loss to Nice, Lille will look to return to winning ways in Ligue 1 when they take on Clermont on Matchday 21. Les Dogues are only four points behind the Europa League berth, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Wednesday’s clash. All Adam Ounas, Andre Gomes, Jonathan Bamba, and Gabriel Gudmundsson should miss out with injuries, speaking of the home side.
Meanwhile, les Lanciers have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating all Lyon, Rennes, and Angers, while sharing the spoils with Nantes. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Lille rolled over Troyes 5-1 in their last home fixture in the national championship. As for the visiting side, both Jeremie Bela and Johan Gastien are sidelined with injuries, while Maxime Gonalons is a major doubt.
