Clermont Foot struggled to immediately regain victory when returning to the Stade Gabriel Montpied this weekend. They were appointed as hosts to host Valenciennes on match day 24.

Clermont played at Sochaux’s headquarters in his previous assignment only to be humiliated 2-1 so he finished 6th with 36 points. The immediate resurrection mission is targeted with 3 wins and 2 draws at home. In fact, Clermont managed to make 8 goals, 4 clean sheets, and only conceded 2 times during that period.

Valenciennes also received a less than satisfactory result last week because he could only hold a GFC Ajaccio draw without a goal. The draw extended the children’s victory fast to 4 straight matches, including 2 away 4-3 and 1-1 at Le Havre and Chateauroux.

Valenciennes was scattered at number 17 with the graph. The bad news, they were beaten 4 goals by Clermont when they played as hosts at the beginning of September. The score made the team never score against Clermont for the last 4 meetings, including 2 visits to Gabriel buried 1-0 and 3-0.
