Betting on Stade Reims
The team led by German Will Still had a difficult start to the season, but now they’re on the right track. With the result of the last match against Ajaccio by 1-0, Les rouges et blancs record three wins in five matches.
The team currently occupies the eleventh position in the French competition, so this Reims vs OGC Nice is a great opportunity to enter the top ten of the competition. At home, Reims has been unbeaten for two games.
So far, they have five wins and nine draws for a total of 24 points in the French league.
Possible Reims lineup (4-2-3-1): Yehvann Diouf; Thomas Foket, Emmanuel Agbadou, Yunis Abdelhamid, Thibault De Smet; Marshall Munetsi, Azor Matusiwa; Junya Ito, Alexis Flips, Arbër Zeneli; Folarin Balogun.
Betting on OGC Nice
This Reims vs OGC Nice has the visiting team under pressure to win in order to maintain its lead in the general classification. At home level, Les Aiglons have 24 points from 6 victories, 6 ties, and 6 losses to rank tenth in the French championship.
Despite this, Didier Digard’s team now has a +2 goal differential and is not being impressive at all with their playing. Their most recent Ligue 1 game ended with an unusual 6-1 victory over Montpellier. Their doubles, solid performance, and crushing outcome rekindled their supporters’ hopes.
Possible OGC Nice lineup (4-2-3-1): Kasper Schmeichel; Jordan Lotomba, Jean-Clair Todibo, Dante, Melvin Bard; Hichem Boudaoui, K. Thuram-Ulien; Nicolas Pépé, Aaron Ramsey, Sofiane Diop; Gaëtan Laborde.
JefeBet Prediction
For this great clash between Reims vs OGC Nice, we believe that the win will go to the home team. Although both teams are in similar situations and are very close in the standings, Reims’ performance has been more consistent.
Because of this, and because they’ll be playing at home, they are likely to take all three points and move up in the Ligue 1 standings.
Prediction: Reims win 2-1.
