Team News

Clermont Foot
Lorient
  • Alidu Seidu returns from suspension and should feature in defence.
  • Save the return of Seidu, it should be as you were for the hosts after a creditable draw away to Strasbourg last weekend.
  • Aiyegun Tosin missed the draw with Lens through injury and remains a doubt here as well.
  • For Les Merlus, there should also be few changes after they, too, earned a hard-fought draw on the road against Lens.
  • Eli Junior Kroupi is also an option in attack for the visitors.

Prediction

  • Clermont have struggled to find the net this season, with the division's poorest attack; that's unlikely to change against a Lorient side whose defence has been improving since the introductions of Mendy and Touré into the eleven.
  • Relegation will remain a worry for Lorient this season, but a win over the hosts would see them move eight points ahead of them ahead of the break, a none-too-insignificant margin.
