Clermont Nantes
Derby of this round .
Clermont are the pleasent surprise of this season . They are a new promoted side from National , won 3rd league last year with 82p , +8 over 2nd place Boulogne , home record 13 4 2 42-23 .. this season Clermont has 6-3-1 17-6 at home , only defeat 2-3 over Bastia at the beggining .
For this game defenders Bockhorni and Coue will be suspended for hosts ... Nantes without defender Jean-Jacques Pierre, suspended , but three important players comeback after long period : midfielders Shereni , Capoue and striker Bagayoko . New signing for Clermont , striker from Senegal M'Bodji ( 6 months loan from Lorient ) is set to make debut today .
Heurtebis, N'Dy Assembé ; Das Neves, Guillon, Maréval, Poulard, O.Thomas ; Babovic, Capoue, Da Rocha, De Freitas, Moullec, Shereni ; Bagayoko, Djordjevic, Goussé, Heinz .
Clermont won last 4 games at home , in the last two they scored 8 goals ... Nantes will be boosted by return of attacking players , but visitors were trashed 0-4 @ Boulogne and find very difficult the way to net in away fixtures lately ( last 5 matches scored only one goal away from home ) .
First leg ended 2-2 ... Clermont has many draws , true , but 3 of them were high scoring ones( 2-2 @ Nantes , 2-2 @ Troyes and 2-2 @ Sedan - Nantes , Troyes and Sedan were relegated from Ligue One last year ) .
Open game ... Clermont are a good home team , Nantes will have back 3 important attacking players ... I expect goals to come in 2nd half ...
