The editorial staff’s opinion: 84.6% no. Top scorer in Ligue 2 last season (22 goals), Mohamed Bayo managed a convincing adaptation in the elite of French football, with 9 goals scored in mid-season. He is the third top scorer in the championship, tied in particular with Ludovic Ajorque and Gaëtan Laborde, two former Clermont residents. Which makes him a coveted player. Already this summer, a doubt hung over a possible departure until the last day of the transfer window. If he finally extended, the drafting believes in majority that Mohamed Bayo will no longer wear the Clermont colors next season.
3. Will Clermont Foot beat in 2022 one of these three “big” championships: Lyon, Marseille, Paris?
The editorial staff’s opinion: no at 53.8%. It’s a tighter debate that turns in favor of the negative for the editorial staff. She thinks that Clermont Foot will not be able to beat one of the three big names in the championship: in the first leg matches, Clermont had snatched a draw in Lyon (3-3), lost at home against OM (0-1) and received an expected slap at the Parc des Princes (4-0). For this return phase, the Clermontois welcome Lyon and PSG, and will travel to the Vélodrome.
