Saint-Étienne - Reims betting tips and odds

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with Reims seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.75, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Saint-Étienne’s latest away victory against Rennes was a surprise to experts and bookies alike. Most sportsbooks priced an away win at 4.40 going in, but they managed to snag an early lead and a stunning 0:2 victory.

Even though it ended in a 1:1 home draw, Reims’s latest Ligue 1 performance was surprisingly solid. They were in the lead at half time despite being up against Lens, who were seen as hard favourites by most bookmakers online.

A quick look at recent history shows us that Saint-Étienne don’t tend to fare too well at $STADUIM despite the home-field advantage. Results aside, they’ve conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone.

Reims have a record of uneventful away matches. Specifically, their previous 2 games as visitors featured 1 goal or less.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Reims once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

Due to a recent string of unfortunate injuries, neither team will be able to play with their full roster. With Saint-Étienne_INJURIES unavailable for the hosts and Reims_INJURIES for the visitors, their respective lineups have been significantly impacted. It will be an interesting game, though any bets made may be somewhat less reliable due to the fact.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
