Bet Of The Day October 27 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Nice are second on the ladder; Clermont are second-last
Nice are the only unbeaten team in Ligue 1 after nine games
Nice have won their last three road games
Nice have beaten PSG and Monaco away in that period
Nice have the best defence in Ligue 1, conceding just four goals in nine games
Nice have the joint-highest clean sheet percentage among Europe’s top five leagues (67%)
Clermont have won just one of their eight games this season
Clermont have lost three of their four home games this season

We’re off to Ligue 1 for today’s best bet as Nice look to continue their sensational start to the season when they come up against struggling Clermont.

These two teams come into this showdown in contrasting positions on the ladder, with Nice flying high in second spot, just one point behind leaders Monaco, while Clermont are languishing in second-last position, four points adrift from safety.

Nice have the best defence in the competition, conceding just four goals in nine games, while Clermont have the joint-worst attack with just seven goals. Nice actually have the joint-highest clean sheet percentage (67%) across the five major European leagues coming into this weekend.

With that in mind, we’re backing Nice to emerge victorious in the H2H market.

Nice won’t be intimidated from going on the road either – they’ve gone unbeaten in 12 of their 15 Ligue 1 away games in 2023, winning eight of those fixtures and prevailing in the last three straight.

Nice are the only undefeated team left in Ligue 1, while Clermont have taken just one point from their four home games this season, losing three of those outings.

Nice have away wins over the likes of PSG and Monaco recently and can add lowly Clermont to that list on Friday night.
