Brest vs Clermont Foot Prediction and Betting Tips | 21st May 2023
Clermont Foot visit the Stade Francis Le Blé in Ligue 1 on Sunday to face Brest, looking to extend their unbeaten run to eight games.
The Lancers have been on a roll lately, winning six and drawing one of their last seven top-flight matches to climb up to eighth position in the table, having started in 13th at the beginning of this run.
Brest, meanwhile, are down in 15th place with 38 points from 35 games. They look safe right now although it's not confirmed yet. But if Nantes, who are five points adrift in 17th, were beaten in their next game, the Pirates are assured of survival in the top flight.
Not that long ago, Eric Roy's team were mired in a relegation scramble after losing three games in a row, but they have since won thrice and drawn twice in six games to safely come out of the red zone.
