Reims - Montpellier predictions

Though we can call Reims the favourites in this matchup, Montpellier are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

At 3.83 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Montpellier are well aware of it themselves.

The hosts will be keen to forget their previous Ligue 1 game. Reims thought they were onto something after a tied first half but it all came for nothing after the break. Ultimately, a Strasbourg drubbing is nothing to show off with.

Montpellier spent most of their previous match against $TEAM_NAM playing from behind. The final 1:1 draw wasn’t exactly a disaster, but their fans are hoping for a better showing this time around.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for Reims may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

The most relevant bit of history we have for Montpellier is their high concession rate at recent home games. After more than 5 goals conceded in 3 games, their fans have warranted concerns over the squad’s defensive performance.

We’re at round 30 already, and Reims managed to win a grand total of 40 points so far. This puts them 4 points below a Europa League qualification, so winning a challenging matchup such as this one will be a great boon.

The last time these two teams met Reims managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

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 Valentin Atangana Edoa, Teddy Teuma, Joseph Okumu, Mohammed Daramy, Benjamin Stambouli. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Teji Savanier, Theo Sainte Luce, Khalil Fayad, Moussa Al Tamari. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

With the two teams’ recent track records in mind, this match is perfect for a very safe Both Teams to Score wager.
