The rojiblancos need the three points if they want to keep dreaming of European competitions. So, Nantes vs Reims may seem like a meaningless mid-ranking clash, but nothing could be further from the truth. For both teams, it’s a must-win situation, and there’s no other option. As the tournament comes to an end, dropping points is detrimental to their goals.

Betting on Football Club de Nantes
Nantes holds fourteenth place with 30 points, a bit far from relegation, and it could call it a season, but the team won’t. The team has gone five matches without a win, and the last two were ties, adding only two points in that stretch.
Being two places away from relegation, Nantes needs to start adding points or it’ll get into trouble the team thought it had already avoided. The good news is that the team scores, and in this bad streak, it only failed to score in one match, which shows its players try, but the problem is at the back.
Eleven goals in five matches, that’s a tough spot. Coach Antoine Kombouaré has shuffled the team, but he can’t find the perfect lineup, even though he needs to because he can’t afford to give rival offenses so many opportunities. Nantes tied its last game against Lyon 1-1.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Alban Lafont; Joao Victor, Jean Charles Castelletto, Nicolas Pallois, Fabien Centonze; Andrei Girotto, Moussa Sissoko; Evann Guessand, Florent Mollet, Moses Simon; Mostafa Mohamed.
Betting on Stade de Reims
Will Still took over the team in a very compromising position, but he’s leading it to European spots, something that seemed impossible just a few months ago. Reims hadn’t lost since matchday 8, but in the last game, it fell 1-2 at home against Marseille.
The team started strong, but while it was celebrating, its opponents scored a goal, and 10 minutes later, it was trailing, showing it got too relaxed. Reims is still 7 points away from Europe, and these distractions aren’t suitable,
especially since it had honed its defense, one of the best in the league, with only 28 goals conceded. Besides, before this defeat, the team had gone six games without conceding any.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Yehvann Diouf; Thomas Foket, Cheick Keita, Yunis Abdelhamid, Thibault De Smet; Azor Matusiwa, Dion Lopy; Junya Ito, Marshall Munetsi, Alexis Flips; Folarin Balogun.
JefeBet Prediction
As we can see, Reims makes it difficult for its opponents to score some goals against it, and although Nantes scores regularly, it needs much more to beat the Red-and-Whites, which have their sights set on Europe. We believe that the upcoming Nantes vs Reims will sign a draw with goals, because Reims is not a good visitor: only three matches won and 9 drawn.
Prediction: Both teams score: Yes (NAN 2-2 REI).
