Clermont vs Lyon Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Clermont and Lyon have only faced off in competitive games on four occasions. Even more surprisingly, Lyon have beaten them once, and the last time they faced off, they suffered a 1-0 defeat.
- Lyon’s wild 5-4 win over Montpellier last weekend was the highest-scoring Ligue 1 game this season. It also saw Alexandre Lacazette score four goals, including a 100th-minute winner form the spot.
- Only four teams have scored fewer goals than Clermont, who have 37. Considering three of those sides are in the relegation zone, it’s impressive that Clermont are higher up the standings.

- Alexandre Lacazette’s four goals for Lyon last weekend propelled him to the top of Ligue 1’s goalscoring charts. He's now tied with Kylian Mbappe on 24 goals.

However, Lyon have been in excellent form in the last few months and also have the ability to overcome the odds, as was seen against Montpellier last weekend. With the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Maxence Caqueret in great form, the prediction is an away win.
