On Sunday, February 26, Clermont Foot will play Strasbourg at the Gabriel Montpied Stadium in Ligue 1, hoping to get back to winning ways. The Lancers have lost three of their last five games in the top division, losing 2-0 to AS Monaco, Marseille, and Rennes. They have dropped out of the top ten in the standings and are now 12th with 30 points from 24 games due to this slump in form.
In contrast, Strasbourg has accumulated nine fewer points than Clermont and is three spots below Clermont in the points table. Habib Diallo scored twice in the first half to give Le Racing a 2-1 victory over Angers, the bottom team, and earn all three points. For the visitors, Nabil Bentaleb scored a penalty midway through the second half to make it 2-2, but it was too little, too late.
Strasbourg had won two of their previous three games in the top division. However, given that they are only two points away from relegation, they need to keep winning.

Clermont Foot vs Strasbourg Team news :
As a result of the 22-year-old center back suffering a meniscus injury during the goalless draw at Lille, Clermont will be without center back Alidu Seidu this weekend. The player is anticipated to return next month. Johan Gastien has been out of action for Clermont for a longer period of time due to a calf injury he suffered in the team’s victory over Angers last month.
Jean Aholou, a midfielder, will miss the final match of his three-game suspension on Sunday, so Strasbourg will not be able to use his services. This weekend, the visitors’ midfield will be severely lacking without the 19-year-old Mouhamadou Diarra, who has been out since the beginning of the month with a calf injury.
