On Wednesday, February 1, Clermont Foot will take on LOSC Lille at the Stade Pierre Mauroy in round 21 of the French Ligue 1. Les Dogues are unbeaten at home since the beginning of September, and they will try to maintain that record in the midweek matchup. On Saturday, Lille’s lackluster attack cost them a 1-0 defeat at OGC Nice, which left them fuming.
Prior to that, the team led by Paulo Fonseca had gone 12 games without defeat in all competitions, winning eight games and drawing four, up until their 1-0 defeat to Olympique Lyon on October 30. With 34 points from 20 games, Lille is seventh in Ligue 1, but if they win in midweek, they could tie Stade Rennais, who is fifth, for the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification spot.
Clermont, on the other hand, rose to eighth place in the league table in the new year after a difficult year in 2022. The team led by Pascal Gastien started 2023 with three straight victories, defeating Lyon, Rennes, and Angers within the first two weeks. Les Lanciers, on the other hand, enter the midweek contest fresh from their goalless draw with FC Nantes on Sunday.

LOSC vs Clermont Foot Team news :
Pascal Gastien, the manager of Clermont Foot, might think about switching up his attacking options after his team failed to make a single attempt against Nantes. Serbian forward Komnen Andric could now take Grejohn Kyei’s place for the midweek trip to northern France after coming off the bench at the weekend.
On Sunday, Jim Allevinah, Saif-Eddine Khaoui, Yohann Magnin, and Neto Borges started as a midfield quartet. On Wednesday, they are expected to return to their respective positions at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
The in-form Canadian striker will once again take his place alongside Remy Cabella and Timothy Weah behind lone striker Mohamed Bayo, as only Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe has scored more goals than Lille striker Jonathan David during the current Ligue 1 season.
Even though Les Dogues lost to Nice, Paulo Fonseca could still use the same back four, with Bafode Diakite, Jose Fonte, Tiago Djalo, and Ismaily starting the game in front of their own fans. Les Dogues have kept three clean sheets in their last six league games.
