Lille host Clermont in Ligue 1, both teams separated by 5 pts. Lille have won 10 games, have the 5th-best home record, but also the 3rd-most conceded goals. Clermont are undefeated in 4 games and have the 6th-best away record. Lille's Jonathan David is the 2nd-highest scorer in the league. Lille's back four is expected to stay the same despite a loss to Nice, while Clermont may alter their attack after failing to score vs Nantes. The match is predicted to be a closely contested battle.Separated by only five points in the standings heading into the midweek round of matches, Clermont have looked like a more-improved outfit this campaign following their battle against relegation for the vast majority of last season. Pascal Gastien's side are undefeated in their last four matches, registering three victories throughout that period, but have found the back of the net on the second-lowest number of occasions - 24 - out of the sides battling it out for a place in Europe next season. A close match here awaits us.
