Ligue 1: Allevinah lights up Clermont, the nothingness of Montpellier in Brest... The tops/flops of the multiplex

TOPS

Six wins in their last seven Ligue 1 matches and a guaranteed place on the podium for at least a week: for Stade Brestois, the sky is the limit. Éric Roy's players offered a spectacle that the score does not tell against Montpellier (2-0). At the Francis Le Blé stadium, the Finistériens mastered their subject from A to Z, with an imperturbable Pierre Lees-Melou in the middle despite the transfer window rumors, and an elusive Romain Del Castillo (4 dribbles out of 7 successful, 6 passes before a shot) . His next two opponents in the championship? The only two to appear better in the ranking: PSG (January 28) and OGC Nice (February 4).

He has experienced almost everything in Auvergne, the region which welcomed him in 2019 while Clermont was still in Ligue 2. Jim Allevinah was a great architect of the first rise in the club's history in 2021, as well as a bit of its maintenance ever since. He had good times, bad times, sometimes very bad times. But it was him, the 28-year-old Gabonese international, at the end of his contract, who gave victory to his team in Nantes this Sunday (88th, 1-2). That's 3 goals in his last 4 matches, after remaining silent in his last 41 (!) appearances. A symbol of Clermont's resilience, of a team that remained playful at Beaujoire and rewarded. Clermont is no longer bottom, 17th, tied on points with Lorient.

FLOPS

He was the main instigator of the Nantes attack for more than an hour. But Benie Traoré also cost dearly with his uncontrolled gesture, a nasty sole on Habib Keïta which reduced the Nantes team to ten. By discovering themselves in the hope of winning, the Canaries were punished on transition by Clermont (88th). “We can only blame ourselves because we created countless chances,” said Nantes midfielder Moussa Sissoko at Amazon Prime Video. Metz, for its part, did not lose with the exclusion of Christophe Hérelle (72nd). But the defender prevented Thijs Dallinga from going on goal and, perhaps, signing the break for Toulouse. Symbol of Lorraines too often overwhelmed in front of their audience this afternoon.

It is not good to come across Stade Brestois at the moment, or even this season. Still, Montpellier never saw the light of day in Finistère. Whether in shots (26 to 9), shots on target (9 to 4), expected goals (3.39 to 0.43) or visual impression, the MHSC seemed overwhelmed. The injury at the start of the match to his striker Tanguy Coulibaly did not help, coupled with the absences of Mousa Al-Tamari (Asian Cup), Issiaga Sylla, Boubacar Kouyaté and Falaye Sacko (CAN). The Héraultais, 12th, remain under pressure, having only one victory ahead of the red zone.
