Reims - Olympique Marseille predictions

With most bookies pricing a home win at 5.76, this is one of the more lopsided matches of the season. Needless to say, Reims don’t stand much of a chance at coming out on top.

Considering the balance of power in this match, it seems that a draw may be the extent of the home team’s ambition. Olympique Marseille are at a clear advantage, which is reflected in the 1.60 odds for an away win 1X2 bet.

All things considered, Reims will have been happy with their previous Ligue 1 result. They had a tough trip where everyone predicted they would end up coming from bleeding but Reims held their ground both in the first and the second half to earn a point in a Brest HT/FT Draw.

Few were surprised by the away team’s 3:1 loss in the previous round, harsh as that may sound. They were up against impossibly long odds at 7.38 and were also the away team. For now, they should probably look ahead to more even matchups.

Playing at Stade Auguste-Delaune II didn’t really bring Reims any luck previously – they’ve lost 3 home games in a row.

Looking over the visitors’ record in away games, it seems they don’t do well when they’re out of the comfort of their home field. They’ve recorded a worrying number of conceded goals in their previous 3 away games – more than 5, to be more precise.

Reims are placed 15th in the standings with 3 points separating them from the relegation zone. Though the season’s end is approaching, the teams placed below them will be scrambling to stay in the Ligue 1, and Reims are heading into a difficult matchup.

A stake of $STAKE is warmly recommended on Away Win. $BOKMAKER has priced Olympique Marseille at 1.60 betting odds which is a fair price. The visitors are a much stronger side and head into the Saturday clash feeling extremely motivated.

Despite being favourites, Olympique Marseille couldn’t manage to secure a victory the last time they played against Reims. This gives the hosts some precedent when it comes to beating the odds, but it’s not a strong case.

Though the visitors are favourites here, it’s important to note they’ll be playing without Michael Murillo, Faris Pemi Moumbagna, Amine Harit, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Robinio Vaz due to injury. On the flip side, the hosts will also be several players short – namely, Mohammed Daramy, Alexandre Olliero, Gabriel Silva Moscardo de Salles, John Joe Patrick Finn have also reported injuries.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 2.06.
