Reims - Nantes predictions

Reims might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Nantes are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.48 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

Reims have a lot of reasons to be proud of their previous Ligue 1 performance. Their opponents Monaco were hard favourites and had the home-field advantage, but Reims pulled ahead in the first half. The end result was a stunning 1:3 away win.

Last round’s proceedings didn’t end too well for Nantes. They struggled throughout the game against Clermont and never managed to catch up, resulting in a surprising 1:2 home loss.

Nantes fans are hoping for a better performance than what they’ve seen in their previous 4 outings. All of these were consecutive defeats.

With a favourable matchup like this, Reims seem likely to earn some points towards moving up on the Ligue 1 table. They’ll need another 2 points to move up to a Europa League qualifying spot, though.

With 18 points earned over the past 19 games, the visitors may be heading down to the relegation zone. After all, they’re projected to lose this upcoming game. That said, it’s too early in the season to make reliable predictions about the final outcome, so they may manage to climb the table yet.

The two teams already met this season in the Ligue 1, with Reims taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 1xbet priced at 2.01 odds.
