Clermont Foot vs Guingamp — Tips & Analysis

Clermont Foot +0.25: Clermont almost never get beaten at home, and that is the heart of this. Their seven home games have produced 1 win, 5 ties and 1 loss, with under a goal a game at both ends. They have lost by 2 or more goals just once in their last 12. Guingamp are the reason we are happy with this. They have lost 6 of their last 7 away games and tied the other one, scoring under a goal a game on the road. They arrive on three straight league defeats with their manager under growing pressure. The last two meetings between these sides both finished 1-0 to Clermont. Guingamp get centre backs Gomis and Demouchy back from suspension, which should make this tighter rather than more open. Eight ties in Clermont's last 12 games tell you what kind of game to expect. A 1-0 Clermont win looks the most likely finish, and that lands this pick on its own. Now the honest part. Clermont have won once in seven home games and 2 of their last 12 overall, so they are not going to take anyone apart. They are also without regular starters Baallal and Nsima, with Allal carrying a knock. Guingamp can nick a game like this. We are still happy on Clermont's side.
