Reims vs Nantes – Going into the tie, it is exceedingly difficult to tell these two squads apart. Reims hasn’t lost in five straight league games, although four of those games were tied.
It’s interesting to note that the team’s board made the decision to fire Oscar Garcia immediately following the scoreless draw with PSG over a month ago.
William Still, a Belgian coach, has been named Reims’ next interim boss. In three games, he has guided the squad to two draws and one victory (a 2-1 triumph at home versus Auxerre).
These days, Reims is having trouble producing opportunities in the last third. In the scoreless draw against Brest seven days ago, their offensive performance was lacking.
It’s interesting because in the previous four Ligue 1 Matchdays, it was their third scoreless draw. Nantes has also recently played at a rather average level.
The Coupe de France champions from last year are finding it difficult to get used to the Thursday-Sunday rhythm. Les Canaris, on the other hand, managed two victories and a draw in each of their last four games across all competitions.
However, they did not perform well against Clermont Foot on Sunday, narrowly escaping with a draw thanks to Mostafa Mohamed’s equalizer in the second half.
Reims vs Nantes – Betting Analysis
In their previous four head-to-head matches, Reims defeated Nantes three times. With 7 victories, 2 draws, and only 1 loss in their previous 10 home games against Les Canaris, Reims likewise has a strong home record in this fixture.
In three of the past four head-to-head contests between these rivals, the Over 2.5 goals FT & Both Teams to Score prediction paid off.
Reims are the 2.00 betting favorites to win this game, but we have a hard time seeing any value there. Instead, given how offensively ineffective both teams have been lately, we are much more interested in betting on a game with a low score total.
Under 0.5 goals in the first half pays off at 2.75 odds, and both a tie at halftime and a draw at the game’s conclusion come with 5.50 odds.
