In my opinion Clermont have bigger chances to avoid loss in this game than bookies wants to suggest for us in their odds.

Clermont didn’t lost in 4 of last 5 matches against Reims. In previous season they won on this stadium so for sure coming here without any fear.

In my eyes Reims is really overrated in this match up. In previous season Clermont finished 3 places above them. Reims in previous season failed to win in 11 of 19 home league matches, Clermont didn’t lost in 13 of 19 away league match.

Clermont kept in squad their key players like Gastien, Borges, Seidu or top scorer Kyei. On the other hand Reims lost their best scorer from previous season Balogun (scored 21 of 45 team goals) and best assistant Flips. That should have bad impact on their performance in current season.

In opening round of the season both teams played against strong teams and both recorded losses. Clermont lost 2:4 at home against Monaco, but match was much closer than scoreline suggest: Clermont have higher ball possession, created same number of big chances and looked really solid in some parts of this game. Reims lost on away against Marseille and looked a bit toothless in attack, but is no surprise for me as they lost two best offensive players from previous season.

On those circumstances I see really good value on away side here.

在我看来，克莱蒙在这场比赛中避免输掉的机会比赌徒给我们的赔率要大得多。

克莱蒙在最近5场对阵兰斯的比赛中4场未输。上个赛季他们在这个球场赢过球，所以来这里毫无畏惧。

在我看来，兰斯在这场比赛中被高估了。在上个赛季，克莱蒙的排名比他们高3个名次。兰斯在上个赛季19场主场比赛中有11场失利，克莱蒙特19场客场比赛中有13场没有输球。

克莱蒙保留了他们的主力球员，比如加斯蒂安、博尔赫斯、塞杜和头号射手凯伊。另一方面，兰斯队失去了上赛季的最佳射手巴洛贡(全场45粒进球中有21粒进球)和最佳助手弗利普斯。这将对他们本赛季的表现产生不利影响。

在本赛季的首轮比赛中，两支球队都与强队交手，均输球。克莱蒙在主场以2:4输给摩纳哥，但比赛比比分所显示的要接近得多:克莱蒙的控球率更高，创造了同样多的机会，在比赛的某些部分看起来确实很稳定。兰斯在客场输给马赛的比赛中表现不佳，在进攻端显得有些无力，但我并不感到意外，因为他们失去了上赛季两名最好的进攻球员。

在这种情况下，我看到了很好的价值。
