The home club usually works in a 4-3-3 tactical system, giving more importance to a well-supported way of playing and progressing on the field through constant triangulations. Coach Peter Bosz should put three very versatile players in the front line: Islam Slimani, Moussa Dembélé and Karl Toko Ekambi.

Clermont Foot enters this match very motivated after a home victory, by 2-0, against Troyes: Bayo scored twice in the second half of the match, allowing his team to win the three points. The visiting team usually plays in a 4-3-3, giving more importance to a style of play in transition, so the three most advanced players are Jim Allevinah, Mohamed Bayo and Jodel Dossou.

Coach Pascal Gastien will be without defensive midfielder Yohann Magnin as he is recovering from a torn cruciate ligament.
