French Football Betting Tips
Back after my break and ready to take on the “old enemy” again I feel
refreshed and confident that the future will be profitable.
For tonight’s tip I am going into the French 2nd division and the clash
between Clermont Foot and Nantes.
Clermont are currently 7th in the league and have a home record so far of
W6 D3 L1 F17 A6. The only loss coming in the first home league game of the
season back in August when Bastia defeated them 3-2, since then they have
put a good run together which sees them on the fringe of the promotion
race.
They are also the form side in the league over the last 6 matches with 3
wins and 3 draws, the 3 home games in that period have all been won with
an aggregate score of 9 goals to 3.
Nantes the opposition tonight are looking to bounce back into Ligue One on
the first attempt after relegation last term and have made a good start in
that quest sitting top of the table after 20 games 2 points ahead of 2nd
placed Le Havre.
Their form on the road in the league reads: W5 D3 L2 F10 A8 but in their
last 6 games they have shown a slight dip in form with a record of W2 D3
L1 F6 A7 and the 3 away games in that period have produced 2 draws and a
loss with no goals scored and 4 conceded though it must be added that all
the goals conceded came in a 4-0 defeat at Boulogne.
The only game between these two sides in recent time came back in August
when the two sides fought out a 2-2 draw at Nantes.
Taking into account all the above facts I am going to err on the side of
caution with my first tip after the break and go for Clermont in the draw
no bet market at 9/10 with Sportingbet. For those newer punters what this
means is if the game ends in a draw your stake is returned.
This is a tough game to call and Nantes are a strong side so the draw
could not be completely ruled out but the draw no bet option fits in with
my revised betting strategy.
The more adventurous may be interested at the 9/5 available for the
Clermont win tonight but I am happy to take the 9/10 more solid option.
As I said earlier the break has helped me to refocus and it is always a
wise thing to do to review your strategy, betting patterns and staking
plans etc to fit in with the ever expanding betting markets that are now
available and as the year progresses I will keep you updated on my
progress.
Good luck as ever,
Silverfox.
