FC Nantes - Clermont Foot 63 ai prediction 30.10.2026 Ligue 2

Preview for match FC Nantes vs Clermont Foot 63

FC Nantes host Clermont Foot 63 at La Beaujoire on Friday, 30 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00. This Ligue 2 fixture is part of matchday 11 and brings together two teams looking to improve their position after a difficult opening stretch. Nantes are 15th with eight points, while Clermont sit 17th on seven. With only one point between them, the result could have an important effect on the lower end of the table.

Nantes have recorded two wins, two draws and six defeats, scoring 11 goals and conceding 17. Their home form has been a particular concern: one win, one draw and three losses from five matches at La Beaujoire. They will nevertheless have the opportunity to use home support to set a more assertive tone and build on the point earned in their latest outing.

Clermont’s league record shows no victories so far, alongside seven draws and three defeats. They have scored nine goals and conceded 14. Their away results offer a modest source of encouragement, with three draws and one defeat in four matches on the road. However, the latest loss at home to EA Guingamp means David Guion’s side will need a response. The previous meeting between these clubs ended in a 2–1 away win for Clermont, so Nantes also have a recent result to avenge. Overall, the matchup is finely balanced by the table, but Nantes’ home advantage and Clermont’s lack of league wins give the hosts a narrow edge.

Our betting tip for FC Nantes vs Clermont Foot 63

Our betting prediction is a home win for FC Nantes, with Tip 1 as the main 1X2 selection. The hosts have not been consistent, and their home record is far from convincing, but they have won twice in the league while Clermont are still searching for their first victory. Nantes also have the advantage of playing at La Beaujoire, where a positive performance could help them create some separation from the teams below them.

The second selection is Both teams score: No. Clermont’s seven draws suggest that they can keep matches close, but their nine goals across ten league games point to limited attacking output. Nantes have also struggled to score regularly, so a match decided by one goal—or a narrow win without both sides finding the net—appears plausible. This is a cautious goals-market choice rather than a prediction of a one-sided contest.

AI prediction for FC Nantes vs Clermont Foot 63

The AI prediction gives FC Nantes a slight advantage in the 1X2 market, primarily because they are at home and have a better win record than Clermont. The statistical picture still calls for caution: Nantes have lost six of ten league matches, while Clermont have drawn seven and may be difficult to overcome if they defend compactly. The AI tip is 1, with a projected correct score of FC Nantes 1–0 Clermont Foot 63. This forecast reflects the hosts’ narrow edge and the possibility of a low-scoring game.

FC Nantes performance check

FC Nantes enter matchday 11 in 15th place with eight points. Their record of two wins, two draws and six defeats shows why they need to make progress quickly if they are to move away from the lower part of the standings. Eleven goals scored indicate that they have shown some attacking potential, although 17 conceded is a clear sign that their defensive work has not been reliable enough.

At home, Nantes have collected one win and one draw from five matches, losing the other three. That return will place pressure on Grégory Poirier’s team to make better use of their own stadium. Their recent five-match sequence across all competitions has produced one win, two draws and two defeats. The latest draw away to AS Saint-Étienne at least gives them a point to build on, but a stronger performance in both boxes will be important against Clermont.

Clermont Foot 63 current performance and league position

Clermont Foot 63 are 17th with seven points after ten league matches. They have not yet won, drawing seven times and losing three. That high number of draws demonstrates an ability to remain competitive, but it also highlights the difficulty they have had in turning close games into victories. Their goal record—nine scored and 14 conceded—suggests that matches involving Clermont have generally been tight rather than high-scoring.

David Guion’s side have drawn three of their four away fixtures and lost once, so they may be capable of frustrating Nantes at La Beaujoire. Their form across the last five matches in all competitions is less encouraging, with three draws and two defeats and no wins. The 0–2 home loss to EA Guingamp in their most recent match will make a response especially important. Clermont’s challenge is to remain organised while finding more threat in attack.

Last direct match

The most recent meeting between the teams finished 2–1 to Clermont Foot 63, who won away from home. That result gives the visitors a reminder that they can trouble Nantes, but it does not erase the hosts’ opportunity to respond in front of their own supporters. With both sides under pressure to collect points, the earlier result may add an extra competitive edge to this encounter.

Head-to-head last direct meetings

The last five meetings across all competitions have been evenly shared. FC Nantes have won twice, Clermont Foot 63 have also won twice, and the remaining fixture ended in a draw. This balanced record offers no clear historical dominance for either side. The latest 2–1 Clermont victory is relevant, but the broader head-to-head picture suggests that the matchup can be closely contested.

Performance in the last five matches

Nantes have taken one win and two draws from their last five matches in all competitions, alongside two defeats. That sequence points to inconsistent form, although their recent draw against Saint-Étienne provided a small step forward. They will need greater consistency if they are to turn home advantage into three points.

Clermont have not won any of their last five, drawing three and losing two. Their ability to draw games has kept them competitive, but the run also underlines their need for a sharper attacking performance. Nantes have the stronger recent record by a narrow margin, while Clermont’s tendency to share points makes a close match a reasonable expectation.

Last match results for FC Nantes and Clermont Foot 63

FC Nantes’ most recent match was an away fixture against AS Saint-Étienne, which ended in a 0–0 draw. The clean sheet will offer some encouragement to Poirier’s side, though they will want to create more scoring opportunities when playing at home.

Clermont’s last match brought a 0–2 home defeat against EA Guingamp. That result leaves Guion’s team seeking a response, particularly in attack. A more disciplined defensive display will be essential if they are to take something from Nantes.

Conclusion and final prediction

This match is difficult to call with complete confidence because both teams have struggled for consistency. Nantes have lost six times in ten league games and have a poor home record, while Clermont have yet to win in the competition. Even so, the hosts have recorded more victories, will play at La Beaujoire and face a visitor coming off a two-goal home defeat. Those factors make FC Nantes the marginal favourite.

The final betting recommendation is Tip 1: FC Nantes to win, with Both teams to score: No as the secondary selection. A narrow 1–0 home victory is a reasonable outcome, although Clermont’s record of frequent draws means Nantes may have to be patient.
