Dunkerque Team Overview
Dunkerque are in Ligue 2 for the fourth consecutive season. They came up from the National in 2023. Two years ago they finished fourth and went into the play-offs. Last season started in similar fashion but ended with a tenth-place finish. The club went through two managerial searches in the space of a year. In the summer of 2025 they appointed Gonçalo Feixa, and the Portuguese left after a week. Spaniard Albert Sanchez, from Barcelona's reserve setup, took charge. This summer Dunkerque brought in Prutsev and Steven N'Zonzi. The 2018 World Cup winner has described this as his final season. On the last day of the transfer window, the club sold Thomas Robinet to Nantes. The forward scored 15 goals in last season's Ligue 2, finishing as the second-highest scorer. Dunkerque's home form has been quiet enough as it is. They have gone without a win in 8 of their last 9 home Ligue 2 matches, and have conceded in seven consecutive home games.

Clermont Team Overview
Clermont were relegated from Ligue 1 in 2024 and have been fighting to stay afloat ever since. They finished 13th last season. The club changed ownership in the summer, with Karim Fraden taking charge of the sporting department and David Guion appointed as head coach. Guion is a well-known name - he took Reims up from Ligue 2 and guided them into European competition. His start at Clermont has been sluggish: two goals in four rounds. Guion had asked for a striker and a midfielder, and the club signed both on deadline day. Forward Luís Semedo arrived from Moreirense, having come through the Benfica academy. Clermont have played away once this season, at Saint-Étienne, where they lost 3-1.

Total Goals Prediction
No more than three goals were scored in 8 of Dunkerque's last 9 home matches. Clermont's average of 0.5 goals per match this season is among the worst in the division, and their away average of 1 is similarly poor. Dunkerque's numbers are not much better. Across their last ten matches, they have averaged 1 goal scored and 1.4 conceded per game. All of this points towards Total Goals - Under 2.5.
Reliable Bet
In 7 of Clermont's last 8 matches, no more than three goals were scored.

All of this points to a strong chance of the Total Goals - Under 3.5 bet landing.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Scores at Dunkerque have been modest for some time. In 8 of their last 9 home Ligue 2 matches, fewer than three goals have been scored. The visitors haven't been finding the net freely either - Clermont have failed to score more than one goal in five consecutive matches. Meanwhile, Dunkerque have conceded in 16 consecutive Ligue 2 matches. Clermont have scored away from home in 7 of their last 8 league matches. So a goal or two seems likely, but no more than that. The bet is Total Goals - Under 2.5. Predicted score - 1:1.
