The Lancers continued their fine run of form with a win against Stade Rennes. Clermont Foot has now beaten two teams in the top half of the table in less than a month. Angers is easily the worst team in the French Ligue One this season and Clermont Foot would not pass up the opportunity to get maximum points here.

Clermont Foot is performing beyond expectations this season. They are far from the relegation zone and need just fifteen points to secure the customary 40 points that would guarantee their safety ahead of next season. Clermont Foot only needs a draw to displace Lyon in eighth position.

The away team is averaging over a goal per game in the league this season and their only real issues have been in the defensive unit but recently, they have stepped up with two clean sheets in their last three games. Clermont Foot has one of the most clinical attack in the league and also has a reliable goalkeeper in Mory Diaw.

Angers' fate for next season is already sealed and it would take a lot for them to escape relegation. The home team is bottom of the French Ligue One and has won just two out of eighteen league games this season — the lowest win rate in the league. Angers is on a three game losing streak in Ligue 1.

Angers has a long list of absentees for this clash as seven first team players are sidelined through injuries. They have a weakened squad and it would be very difficult to compete with Clermont Foot.

Clermont Foot has had better performances away from home, having only lost one of their last six games on opposition soil. Their only defeats in away league games have come against tougher teams in the top six with better quality than Angers. Clermont Foot has good memories of this tie from last season. Mohammed Bayo's late winner gave them all three points last time at this venue.

The visitors have the better record in the recent games against Angers, only losing one of the last six matches between these two teams, and looking at the state of both teams, Pascal Gastien will be confident of a win or draw against Angers on Sunday.

枪骑兵队在对阵雷恩球场的比赛中继续保持良好的状态。在不到一个月的时间里，克莱蒙特足球队已经击败了两支排在积分榜上半区的球队。昂热无疑是本赛季法甲最差的球队，而克莱蒙特足队也不会放弃在这里获得最高分数的机会。

克莱蒙特足球队本赛季的表现超出了预期。他们离降级区还很远，他们只需要15分就可以拿到40分，这将保证他们在下赛季的安全。克莱蒙特足队只需要一场平局就能取代里昂排在第八位。

这支客场球队本赛季在联赛中场均进球超过1个，他们唯一的问题是防守，但最近，他们在最近三场比赛中两场零封对手。克莱蒙特脚队拥有联赛中最冷静的进攻之一，同时也拥有可靠的门将莫里迪奥。

昂热下赛季的命运已经注定，他们要想保级还需要付出很大的努力。主队在法甲排名垫底，本赛季在18场联赛中只赢了2场，是联赛中胜率最低的球队。昂热在法甲联赛中遭遇了三连败。

由于7名一线队球员因伤缺阵，昂热队在这场比赛中有一长串的缺阵名单。他们的阵容很弱，很难与克莱蒙特队竞争。

克莱蒙特足队在客场表现更好，他们在过去的6场比赛中只在对手的土地上输了一场。他们在客场的唯一一场失利都是对阵排名前六、实力比昂热更强的球队。克莱蒙特大脚队对上赛季的这场比赛有着美好的回忆。穆罕默德·巴约(Mohammed Bayo)最后时刻的绝杀为他们赢得了上一场比赛的三分。

客队在最近对阵昂热的比赛中取得了更好的成绩，这两支球队在最近六场比赛中只输了一场，看看两支球队的状态，帕斯卡·加斯蒂安对周日对阵昂热的胜利或平局充满信心。
