Nantes vs Clermont Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 30 October 2026
🔊 Clermont Foot are the only side in Ligue 2 without a win after ten rounds: seven draws and three defeats. On Friday they travel to Nantes, who have just one point more. The two sides last met in January 2024, still in Ligue 1, when Clermont won away at Nantes 2-1. A repeat of that result would take them above their hosts in the table.

Head-to-head statistics Nantes - Clermont
Nantes Team Overview
Nantes lost their last Ligue 2 match to Saint-Étienne (0-1). Over the 90 minutes they managed four shots to their opponents' 11.
Nantes are 15th with eight points, all of which have been earned under Grégory Poulier. He replaced Michel Der Zakarian at the end of August, after three defeats at the start of the season. In the previous round, Nantes came agonisingly close: away at league leaders Saint-Étienne, Poulier's side held a goalless draw until the 90th minute before conceding from a cross from the right. At home, Nantes have won just one of their five matches. Thomas Robinet is a doubt - at Saint-Étienne he went off as early as the tenth minute with a thigh complaint.
Match Results: Nantes
Clermont Team Overview
Clermont Foot lost to Guingamp (0-2) in their previous Ligue 2 fixture. Despite having 64% possession, they managed just one shot on target compared to seven from their opponents, and both goals were conceded before half-time.
Clermont came closest to their first win under David Guion on 16 October at Laval. The visitors led by three goals, gave one back, and then conceded twice in the closing stages to draw 3-3. The following week, Guion's side lost at home to Guingamp, who scored twice in the opening half-hour. "We gave the opposition too much comfort. We lacked aggression," Guion admitted. And there is growing cause for concern: over 20 Ligue 2 seasons, four teams have gone without a win after ten matches - and all of them were relegated.

Total Goals Prediction
Nantes have scored three or more goals at home just once in their last 18 matches. Across their last ten home games, they have managed only ten goals in total. Clermont Foot concede a lot away from home, but we are not expecting Nantes to find a third goal here. The bet is Nantes Team Total - Under 2.5.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
Clermont Foot's last five away matches have all featured goals at both ends. In their last 11 away games, they have failed to score just once. Nantes don't score a great deal at home, but Clermont Foot's defence concedes plenty on the road. We're expecting both sides to get on the scoresheet. The bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely scorelines are 1-0 (11.58%), 1-1 (9.45%) and 2-1 (8.39%). The most probable of the three is 1-0, with the other two following in the order listed.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Clermont Foot rarely lose heavily: away from home, they have been beaten by more than one goal only once in 17 matches. Nantes have also failed to win by that margin in any of their last six head-to-head meetings. The hosts' attack is modest - they have scored more than two goals in just one of their last 18 home matches. Clermont Foot, meanwhile, have scored in 10 of their 11 away league matches in Ligue 2. Nantes may finally give their fans something to cheer about, but a two-goal winning margin looks unlikely. The pick is Clermont Foot - Handicap +1.5.
