Clermont - Reims predictions

Clermont will likely try to secure a draw at most. They are outclassed by Reims, plain and simple, and most bookies online agree with this – after all, the betting odds on a home win for this match are 3.78.

Details can make a big difference in matches like this one. One way for Reims to reach their goal in this game is to stick firmly to their game plan and execute it flawlessly.

When we talk about Clermont’s previous Ligue 1 result, it’s fair to say hosts can be pretty happy to have avoided a heavier defeat. They were the 9.57 underdogs last time out and a narrow Lens HT/FT loss is not something to scoff at.

Reims were slight favourites at odds of 2.24 for their previous home match, but that didn’t seem to matter in the end. They lost 1:2 to Montpellier after some concessions in the first half that they never managed to overcome.

Reims are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

Clermont will need another 4 points to get out of the relegation zone – and this round is not a particularly good opportunity to win them. They are quickly running out of time, though, and will need to move quickly if they wish to stay in the Ligue 1.

Reims already won a match against Clermont this season while playing a home game. Even though they won’t have home-field advantage this time, they’re still considered favourites. After all, their previous victory was quite decisive and ended with a considerable lead.

With no injuries to speak of on the visiting side, the favourites will be heading into this fixture with full force.

The risks involved in backing a BTTS bet for this match are minimal. Both Clermont and Reims have a history of confirming the market so the 1.80 odds offered at 1xbet is too good to pass up.
