Fresh off the back of ending their seven-game winless run, Clermont Foot play host to Angers at the Stade Gabriel Montpied on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, head into the game winless in each of their last four Ligue 1 outings and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Clermont Foot strengthened their survival chances last Wednesday as they claimed a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Troyes.
Prior to that, they were on a seven-game winless run, picking up two draws and five defeats in that time.
With 32 points from 33 games, Clermont Foot are currently 17th in the Ligue 1 table, one point above 18th-placed Saint-Etienne in the relegation playoff spot.
Angers, meanwhile, failed to find their feet as they fell to a humbling 3-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain last time out.
They have now failed to taste victory in any of their last four games, picking up just two points in that time.
With 34 points from 30 games, Angers are currently 14th in the table, level on points with 15th-placed Lorient.
