Clermont vs Reims Predictions

• Visitors Reims are unbeaten in their last four matches in all competitions.
• There has been fewer than three goals four of Reims last five games.
• The hosts are without a number of key attacking players to due AFCON.

Hosts in a real battle to avoid the drop

The hosts haven’t exactly been ripping up trees in their first-ever top-flight season but nevertheless, they sit outside the relegation spots by a single point. It looks as though the only was is down if you look at their current form, they’ve claimed just nine points from their last 14 matches and to make things even more difficult, they’re going to be without top scorer Mohamed Bayo as he travels to the Africa Cup of Nations.

The visitor’s Reims ended 2021 losing just one of their previous seven matches, an extremely impressive run that has seen Óscar García’s men put seven points between them and the battle for relegation. This league is exceptionally tight and a win here would mean for the first time this season they could look towards challenging for a European spot.

Reims most likely to secure victory

We think the momentum is with the visitor here as Clermont slide further and further down the table. Both teams are without some key players and goalscorers so we don’t think there will be too many chances. However, we think the visitor’s Reims are the most likely to claim victory here and are backing them as a draw no bet.
