On Matchday 13 of the French championship, Nantes will take on Clermont at home. Both teams have been playing productive football of late. In terms of goals scored and conceded in their games on a regular basis. Nantes lie just outside the relegation zone in Ligue 1, while Clermont are six points ahead of the Canaries in the mid-table - high enough for a lowly side. All thanks to recent victories. Although, in the last round, Clermont damaged their reputation when they lost 1-3 at home to Brest. Before that, they snatched a 1-1 away draw against Monaco and beat Auxerre (2-1) and Ajaccio (3-1). Clermont are well organized in attack, but lack solidity in defence. The same can be said of Nantes. "The Canaries beat Qarabagh (2-1) in Europa League last week, nearly overcame Nice before losing 1-1, and just before that they thrashed Brest (4-1). Nantes' attacking play currently looks very impressive, with their attacking leaders in peak form. Blas, Ganago, Simon and Mohamed form a dangerous combination in attack. In terms of losses, Nantes' defence is weakened. Lafont and Bamba are disqualified and Charles Traore is injured. In Clermont, Seydoux is out of suspension and Zeffan is out injured. Last season, the matches between these rivals were very combative. Nantes claimed victory twice - 2-1 at home and 3-2 away. In both meetings, there were penalties and the games had dashing plot twists. Based on the form of the teams, we can expect something similar this time as well.
