Clermont Foot host Strasbourg at the Gabriel Montpied Stadium in Ligue 1 on Sunday (February 26), looking to return to winning ways. The Lancers are winless in five top-flight games - losing their last three - a series of 2-0 defeats to AS Monaco, Marseille and Rennes.
This slump in form has seen them fall out of the top ten in the standings and into 12th place with 30 points from 24 games. Strasbourg, meanwhile, have accrued nine points fewer than Clermont and sit three places below them in the points table.
Le Racing are coming off a 2-1 win over bottom side Angers, with a first-half brace from Habib Diallo enough to seal all three points. Nabil Bentaleb scored a penalty for the visitors midway through the second half to reduce arrears, but it was too little too late.
It was Strasbourg's second win in their last three top-flight games. However, they must continue to pick up victories, as they're only two points clear of the relegation zone.
