Actually Clermont Foot still has bigger chance for staying in Ligue 1 next season behind on the bottom position standings awhile, but Ligue 1 have regulation with two bottom standings teams will relegated to Ligue 2 and has opportunity as the third bottom standings has second chance trough playoff relegation. Clermont Foot remaining six points left from Lorient and Ligue 1 has 8 matches left.
But Clermont have to face many difficult teams on their matches left for upcoming match against PSG, then has Lens, AS Monaco and Lyon will be most difficult team for defeating. Get more time to recovery with international break out I think Clermont has opportunity get one points against PSG with inconsistency performance in domestic league currently.
for this season for me, Clermont has no chance to leave the relegation zone.
from some of the matches you said against some of the big teams Clermont will compete away and have been confirmed to also lose points, except for the match against Lyon.
but to fight Lyon even though Clermont competing at home will still be very difficult.
Clermont is currently the second team that conceded in large quantities after Lorient and Clermont now conceded 43 scores and just imagine how weak the Clermont defense and it is very feasible if Clermont must be degraded this season because this team always gives an inconsistent appearance since last season.
