Clermont Team Overview
This is Clermont's third consecutive season in Ligue 2. They finished 13th last time out with 37 points.

That same day, the new president announced his managerial appointment: David Guion returned to work for the first time since leaving Troyes in 2024. His start has been difficult - two goals scored in three rounds. At home, Clermont have won just one of their last seven Ligue 2 matches, and have conceded in 16 of their last 18.
Match Results: Clermont
Sochaux Team Overview
Sochaux are back in the second division after three years in the Nationale, where they ended up not through relegation but through an administrative decision - the club were expelled from Ligue 2 in 2023. Last season they finished second behind Dijon and secured promotion on the final matchday, drawing 2-2 with Le Puy. Vincent Hognon has been in charge at Montbéliard since 2025 and was the one who led them up. The squad has barely been touched ahead of the new division, with the core group staying together. The club are straightforward about their objective: survival in Ligue 2. That caution is reflected in their away record - Sochaux have gone unbeaten in 13 of their last 15 matches on the road.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Clermont's home matches have been low-scoring affairs: in 6 of their last 7 Ligue 2 home games, the two sides combined for fewer than three goals. Sochaux show a similar pattern - in 7 of their last 8 matches, the combined total has stayed under four. Clermont haven't been prolific either, scoring more than one goal in just 1 of their last 7 league matches. A cautious game with no more than two goals looks likely. The bet is Total Goals - Under 2.5. Predicted score: 1-1.
