PREVIEW & PREDICTION – Reims vs Lorient 29/01/2018

On Monday, starting at 19:45, Reims – Lorient will be playing in the 23rd round of Ligue 1. We anticipate a fairly balanced match, but with plenty of crowds on the side of the guests and we are betting accordingly.

The hosts managed to place themselves with authority in Ligue 2 this season and currently have 10 points in addition to the main Nimes tracker. The main weapon of the team has so far been defending, winning only 12 goals in 22 stages. In the last 5 matches in Ligue 2 Reims has scored 2 goals and scored 12 in total. Currently, the host team has a string of 7 consecutive wins in the championship and are unbeaten by 11 games from the domestic competition. However, even without batch problems, any such series has an end. We think we will see another 0-0 result as we have seen in other matches with somewhat stronger teams like Paris Fc and Le Havre.

On the other side, Lorient was eliminated from the cup after a “crazy” match against Montpellier, which ended with a score of 4-3. It is quite true that Montpellier did not play with all the players, but the performance of Lorient was at least praiseworthy. You currently know the 6th place in Ligue 2 with a 37-26 goal, the team did not impress in the last two championship games but they came after a series of 5 games without defeat. Another argument for the guests who will certainly attack to climb a dam is that they have been forced into the last two games with Reims.


PREDICTION: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.76
