Strasbourg will play host to Clermont at the Stade de la Meinau in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
Strasbourg are in 18th place in the standings and look like they might be in for a difficult campaign, as they are winless this season.
Last weekend, they secured a point against Brest after losing to newly promoted Auxerre. While they’ve only been beaten twice in their first six games, they can’t seem to score enough goals, managing just five thus far.
Clermont, meanwhile, have started the season reasonably well, considering it'is just their second in Ligue 1.
They’ve won three of their first six games, beating Reims, Nice and Toulouse. Two of their three defeats have come to Champions League sides Paris St. Germain and Marseille.

Strasbourg vs Clermont Prediction
Despite Strasbourg’s poor start, this is unlikely to be a one-sided game. They have been losing games largely by tight margins, and it looks like a little luck could help them out greatly.
Clermont will be no pushovers, though, as they are a solid team, albeit one that has changed greatly since the 2021-22 campaign.
With that in mind, it’s likely that this game will end in a draw.
