Troyes vs Clermont Prediction and Betting tips

Ligue 1 returns this week and will see Troyes host Clermont at the Stade de l'Aube on Wednesday evening in the 33rd matchday of the French top-flight.

Troyes have taken massive strides lately in their race for survival. They held European contenders Strasbourg to a 1-1 home draw in their last game, with club captain Florian Tardieu stepping up late in the game to score his first-ever goal in the French top-flight from the penalty spot.

The hosts now sit 15th in the league standings with 33 points from 32 games. They will aim to return to winning ways this week as they target consecutive seasons in the top-flight for the first time since the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons.

Clermont, on the other hand, have dropped form in recent weeks and have since joined the relegation battle. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Metz over the weekend and will be gutted not to have picked up maximum points as they squandered multiple chances after seeing their opponents reduced to 10 men in the first half.

Clermont sit 18th in the Ligue 1 table with 29 points from 32 games. They will be looking to begin picking up points on Wednesday as the season rapidly winds down.
