The match scenario revolves around the balance between Clermont's caution and Reims's open play: the hosts rarely play with high scoring, while the visitors have consistently scored themselves and allowed the opposition to score in each of their last five Ligue 2 matches. The conditions for goals at both ends are there even at this early stage of the season: both teams are motivated to fight for the top spots from the very start, and the results of their recent friendlies suggest that Clermont and Reims intend to push straight into the upper part of the table. The main prediction is both teams to score (yes).
