Brest - Reims predictions

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.70 is a solid option. That said, Reims may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Reims fans are expecting them to triumph at Brest this Sunday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

,Stade Francis-Le Blé proved to be fertile grounds for Brest in the previous round against Angers SCO . They maintained an impressive lead throughout the match and secured a respectable 2:0 home win.

The previous round of the Ligue 1 saw Reims lose a home game against Auxerre to a 0:2 goal difference. The 3.28 betting odds implied it should have been a close call, but they were behind throughout the bout.

Brest’s fans are rather disappointed with what they’ve seen from their defence in recent home games. The previous three matches saw them concede 7 times, which is not a great look.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Reims’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

Reims are hovering in the lower parts of the league table, currently at number 15th. Their only goal right now is to build up more space between them and the relegation zone as we enter the latter parts of the season. Brest are hardly a good opportunity to earn points, however, considering the 5.11 odds on the visitors winning.

Brest clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with Reims, but it was a rather narrow victory.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Bradley Locko, Brendan Chardonnet, Abdallah Dipo Sima, Soumaula Coulibaly, Ibrahim Salah, Mama Baldé. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Mohammed Daramy, Alexandre Olliero, Gabriel Silva Moscardo de Salles. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.97 with Pncl, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
